<<< British and US intelligence agencies know well that Iraq is qualitatively disarmed, and they have not forgotten that the outgoing secretary of defense, William Powell, told incoming President George Bush in January 2000: "Iraq no longer poses a military threat to its neighbors." >>> counterpunch.org

We don't continually bomb Iraq, Partytime. Now I basically know what I read and hear in various media like everyone else here but I try to pay attention. We do patrol the no-fly zones, preventing Iraq from using military aircraft there. And our planes are fired on regularly and we occassionally fire back at their anti-aircraft installations. But we don't "continually bomb" anywhere in Iraq. But I am glad you now see the need to take military action in Iraq. Re. Al Qaeda camps in Iraq, you said: ..wouldn't America, due to 9/11, have a moral imperative to destroy them? Yes, one of the reasons we favor military action. Welcome to our side.
