Ted, <Powell did not come through because they don't have a smoking gun.> First of all, a gun isn't smoking until it is fired. Saddam already used his weapons before, which amounts to "smoking guns" themselves. Yet some would rather wait for yet another "smoking gun" before acting, because they simply do not have the resolve. Second, if anything, Powell has conclusively shown why the inspectors right now are not finding anything. Even France sees this point and is now calling for tripling the number of inspectors in Iraq. (As if that alone will disarm Iraq, but that's another argument.) And third, all Powell did and needed to do was show proof of Iraq's non-compliance. What the U.N. decides from here is up to them, but it seems Bush has made his case pretty clear. Tenchusatsu

Ted Re..Trust me, they are not winning over Americans, Ten's latest poll post notwithstanding....... Whats the matter, wasn't the fact that Iraq has tested its gas upon up to 1500 prisoners sick enough for you. How many do you need before you say enough already. And powell showed the connection between Saddam and Al qaeda, and the ricin attacks in UK and France. What more proof do you need that the inspectors aren't containing the problem. Couldn't it be said that Gw would be negligent in his duties as president if he knew about the connections between Al qaeda and Saddam, and their plans for gas attacks, and did nothing to stop it. Do you need a plane flying overhead before you are convinced. What does this have to do with Gw, shouldn't it be about right and wrong. Unfortunately, all of us will pay for this conservative madness but in the end, if it gets rid of the Bushes once and for all.......who can complain too much? Conservative madness??? Saddam has over 100 tons of chemical weapons, and you call Gw mad. Wake up, this threat upon us is far more important than the economy. The economy will never get better until the people have confidence the threat is eliminated. Gw will be in office, until either the threat is eliminated, or people feel secure with the dems plans for eliminating terrorism.
