RE:"Iraq is no threat to us. AlQaeda is, and that terror has not been eliminated. Bush's dissipating our resources by attempting to start a war is a greater threat to the safety of Americans than Saddam."

It's depend of where Bush (or USA) is up to. If it's want really control the whole world, AlQaeda is just an easy pretext. Iraq is an easy pretext to control oil.

Indeed, Iraq is no threat to America, it's no threat to Canada and it's no threat to Panama, although some might oppose the idea of Saddam wearing a Panama hat--lol!

Probably all that really is needed is for the U.S. to establish a stronger military presence--which it's already done--in the MiddleEast, this as a stopgap measure to assure security for Israel and be in a position to preserve the oil markets.

Absolutely no need for war!!!
