They could be used to strike at American forces or American interests in the region and theoretically could be launched from somewhere other then Iraq, but if your point is that they are not much of a threat I agree. Today. But let's keep in mind what our Global Hawks are able to do. This is a generation removed from the Predator-type drone, but it is, by no means, a huge leap.

Watch out for Bush's veracity on evidence. They have been fudging the facts for some time now. One glaring example was Cheney on Meet The Press stating what he knew was a lie, that M<ohammed Atta met with Iraqi intel in Prague. It was reported once, but the story was rebuked completely. I was in prague at the time so I read all about it. Czech officials wondered who the hell invented that pile of caca. But still Cheney repeated it. Why do they need to lie? Makes one suspicious. Truly, I believe the real reason behind the war is oil and Bush approval ratings. He's found when he calls for war his approvals go up. And when he doesn't people see the lousy economy and ratings go down. It may be as simple as that. Why else introduce the war two months before the mid-term election when they had plenty of time to do it beforehand? And it worked. Dick Morris was on TV in August recommending "Iraqi blood ASAP" as the way to boost approvals and take peoples' minds off Enron. They took his advice big-time. Sorry to be cynical but I calls 'em as I sees 'em. I know there is no immediate reason for us to go to war. No imminent danger. Saddam is in a tight box now. Even if he is hiding weapons.
