If they want US assistance with another war against Iraq, they can damn well ask for it publicly. Sending us messages that have to be interpreted by CobaltBlue is not a realistic way of asking for assistance.

Hi Carl - it should not surprise you to hear that the messages are not being routed through me.

I note, with some amusement, that you have been posting links to stories which allege that nations bordering Iraq have stated that they DON'T want war with the lunatic.

I've refrained from posting all the stories that allege that nations bordering Iraq DO want us to take him out.

They go backwards, forwards, spin, counterspin. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I judge them by their actions. If we are building bases in their country, that tells me that they support us. If we have our own military in their country, that tells me that they support us.

We should know who is right, me or you, within a few months. Maybe October, maybe not. Maybe November, maybe not. Soon.

At any rate, when we started arguing, you did not believe that any of this was in the realm of possibility. Your ground is being eaten away, every day.
