On the national news last night, I heard Bush say that war with Iraq might be unavoidable. I came away with the feeling that Bush said he was in no hurry to start a war with Iraq. Every week, Bush's opinion about when he will attack Iraq changes so I was NOT surprised when I saw the following article in The Guardian last night: Bush threatens attack over 'lies' Bush threatens Iraq attack over alleged deception by Saddam Ian Black in Prague and Helena Smith in Larnaca Thursday November 21, 2002 The Guardian guardian.co.uk The following is an excerpt: " George Bush has threatened to unleash a military assault on Iraq if Saddam Hussein continues to deny possessing banned weapons of mass destruction. Speaking on the eve of today's Nato summit, the US president said that the Iraqi leader had a very short time to declare completely and truthfully his arsenal. guardian.co.uk >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dorine found the quote about Delay's excuse to stay out of Vietnam, but like you said, the kids who were sent to Vietnam never had a choice.
