Hi Fred! That's precisely why the inspections are so important. I still say Bush's best out of the Iraq quagmire, is to: * Establish a council of Arab countries to work on better solutions than what presently exists for the region. * Request that the UN inspection team be doubled, tripled, even quadrupled. * Using what intelligence evidence exists that shows where stuff can be found, go get and destroy it. * Use the recent build-up as a lesson to anyone who'd dare trade beyond the UN sanctions imposed on Iraq. Change the sanctions to become more humanitarian. * Declare victory--end of story. * Bush should withdraw, not all, but most of the military in the Middle East and send it to deal with North Korea, where a real and much greater threat exists. There's a report now circulating about a former Saddam bodyguard who claims to know where everything is. OK, if this is the case--use the UN inspectors to go it and destroy it and stay tuned to what's described above. The greater present day threat and real war is against Al Qaeda. The greater present day threat requring immediate attention is North Korea, not Iraq. An invasion of Iraq provides openings to both Al Qaeda and North Korea. Why be so dumb and give this to them?
