<< It wouldn't surprise me if the inspectors find other stuff not included within the declaration. I'm not bothered by that, so long as they keep looking. >> I'm not bothered as long as America builds up it's forces in preparation for taking Saddam's regime out. The stakes are high. There are world wide terrorist organizations, who's main target is America. In order for America to "win the peace", we must domino through Iraq, then North Korea, then Libya, then Syria, and in the meantime, we should be supporting the existing peaceful movement to overthrow of the criminals in charge of Iran. The Arms search is merely to satisfy a "legal technicality" to satisfy the bumbling, inept bureaucrats of the UN.

I'm not all that enthused about going to war in the ME. It could blow up in our faces. Yeah, no nation in the area is going to have the cojones to declare war on us or attack us. That won't stop every mullah in the area from declaring jihad, though. And quite possibly tens of millions of men from answering. That could bad. Real bad. The only way of stopping that might just be to actually use nukes. OTOH, another way of looking at this is that Bush has been playing high-stakes poker with Saddam. And if that's what he's doing, he's doing it rather well. Message 18459564 Message 18459511 And the peaceniks in this country aren't helping that at all. Think about that.
