iIf we stopped a shipload of Scuds going from NK to Yemen why did we let them go?

I am soooooo glad you and your party are out of office.

It would be a total disaster if you were.

I asked Prolife(and didn't get an answer) why, if, Jr. showed pictures of an Al Qeida site, he didn't attack it?....

Because that, in and of itself, would accomplish little, much as Billy's aspirin factory attack.

If Jr. had pictures of a missile factory, why didn't he attack it?

See above.

If we stopped a shipload of Scuds going from NK to Yemen why did we let them go??

Good question.

Why did we ask for permission to fly U-2 spy planes....they are supposed to spy planes, aren't they???

Good question.

And do you seriously believe that we will be in Iraq for only 2 years after we overthrow Saddam????

No.

And do you think eliminating Saddam will reduce terrorism or cause more in this country???

Absolutely, reduce!

Is this some of the circumstantial evidence you're referring to???

No, none of the above is the circumstantial evidence to which I refer.

re:"And do you think eliminating Saddam will reduce terrorism or cause more in this country??? "

Yes. The main reason that OBL wants to kill Americans, is because of the U.S. military presence in Saudi Arabia. The reason that there is a U.S. presence in Saudi Arabia, is to "contain" Iraq.

The SR-71 is the only spy plane that we could have used that would not have needed advance permission. The U2 can be shot down. When our planes in the "no-fly zone" are constantly being shot at, I would have a problem putting a U2 in harms way. Wouldn't you???
