So far we have just heard a series of assertions with NO EVIDENCE to support them...Why has the Administration had such a tough time making its case? The real issue also is whether Bush will choose to continue with the U.N. process (that may still ultimately lead to war). Its much better to have a broadly based international coalition behind you...America's credibility is on the line. I think we deserve better leadership. Lets hope Bush is thoughtful (and not an impulsive Texas cowboy)...Patience is a virtue when it comes to going to war. -s2@wecouldclearlyuseawarheroaspresident.com

>>US Says It Can Prove Iraq Has Banned Weapons Fri January 24, 2003 07:15 AM ET By Isabel Reynolds and Huda Majeed Saleh TOKYO/BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The United States said on Friday it had "very convincing evidence" Iraq possessed banned weapons as a transatlantic rift widened over whether Baghdad should be disarmed by force. U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton, Washington's top arms control diplomat, said Iraq has maintained an extensive program for the production of weapons of mass destruction, including long-range ballistic missiles banned since the 1991 Gulf War. "That is information that we have, and I think that, at an appropriate time and in an appropriate way, we will make the case about Iraq's violations," Bolton told a news conference in Tokyo during the third and last stop of a tour of Asia. The comments echoed those made by U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz who said President Bush had a "powerful case" against Iraq. "We have a case grounded in history. We have a case grounded in current intelligence that not only comes from American intelligence but many of our allies," he told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York on Thursday night.<< asia.reuters.com Hang in there.
