There are a lot of monsters out there but the question that never gets answered satisfactorily.......Why Saddam? Does it occur to you that our national security people have judged Saddam to be one of several huge threats to the United States? This is the case, not only with those in the administration, but people outside the administration like Joe Biden, people who have been critical of the administration's policy, like Larry Eagleberger, like Brent Scowcroft, Norman Schwarzkopf. Do you think your judgment on the matter is superior to theirs? The "oil" argument is bogus. If oil were THE goal, we'd have gone to Baghdad last time. The US interests are, frankly, at this point much bigger than the oil. I'm not sure what liberals are envisioning here: We occupy Iraq, "capture" the oilfields, and steal the Iraqis money as the oil is sold off? Or what? "It's about the oil" makes a great rallying cry for the liberals; but if you give it just a LITTLE thought, the entire concept is ridiculous.

Ted,...Re..There are a lot of monsters out there but the question that never gets answered satisfactorily.......Why Saddam? Why not Saddam. Saddam currently is running experiments, and producing enough gas to kill millions of people, he has active terrorist connections. He has a hatred of the US. The arab nation he is in charge of is in the middle of the nations supporting terrorism. He is actively supporting terrorist who attack Israel every day. Is that enough for you, or do you need more. Think, man; stop blasting the liberals and use your head You stop supporting a tyrant, and I will quit blasting you for it. It doesn't make a lot of sense; that's why the US is being accused of wanting Saddam's oil. That accusation just shows that there is a far left conspiracy, who will stop at nothing to discredit Gw, even compromise the security of this nation to get their aims. Hey, if Hillary says it, so can I.
