Why not both at the same time? The standard answer from the Kucinich Crowd is, of course, one of two things: 1) Our military has been so seriously gutted under the previous administration that we can't handle Bin Laden & Saddam at one time, or 2) We need to wait until Saddam ACTUALLY HAS a nuke to strike him.

Again, its my opinion we need to need to neutralize al Qaeda, and then proceed to do a clean up of people like Saddam. Not the reverse. Why not both at the same time? When the latter is actively pursuing a nuke, if he were to attain it while you were focusing on Al Qaeda, the stakes for the 2nd part of the operation just skyrocketed. Because I don't think we can afford both......already, as we resume deficit spending, there are complaints that the nation building of Afghanistan is falling way short. And then there will be the nation building of Iraq; that's after billions are spent subduing Saddam. No one is watching the money in this administration......but someone will have to pay the piper and it won't be Bush's family. We are perfectly capable of chasing terrorists and duking it out with a dictator at the same time. It is stupid to ignore the possible consequences of waiting on Saddam. The possible consequences of Saddam are not pressing......he can be contained while we go after al Qaeda. This president is selling the same bill of goods hawkish American presidents have been selling for the past 100 years. From all comments I have seen by British and American intelligence, its bs. The CIA director has said repeatedly the real threat is al Qaeda. But his voiced gets drummed out by the beating of war drums coming from the WH. ted
