I don't believe I have called any American, anti-American No, you didn't, that was a reference to encompass other critics, other than your more mild criticisms of cowardice. those who are presently arguing that Saddam and Iraq are not part of the terrorism war are ignoring the well-substantiated cash and supply support they provide No one has argued that. The argument is whether the US should create millions of flying body parts throughout Baghdad, over the absence of evidence, or the absence of cooperation, or as Fleisher said incorrect "attitude". I heard Richard Perle say this morning that N.Korea was just "too late to the game", after Iraq had already been in progress, and will be tended to "later". What's the rush, exactly? A hostile country with proven radiological threat, vs one without. The argument from the administration to most of the world appears to be saying "we're going to kill you and take away your weapons", rather than "get rid of weapons or we'll kill you". Critics in the US say it's a purposeful deception for domestic, rather than internat'l purposes. On the pamphlet - I've also recommended it, fwiw. Those are the kind of good efforts Americans need to make, creating safety here at home, and look for accuracy in international events, which are scarce. Instead there's a roaring silence from this adminsitration that appears intent on leaving the American people out altogether of a game of Geopolitical Nintendo.
