I am talking about Germany flying under the wing of reckless France.

I dont suppose you consider all the killed and maimed soldiers of the first Gulf War? Did they sacrifice to have a treaty disregarded like this?

Either be proactive or reactive here, war has been declared and Saddam is the enemy.

>>Iraq has not slaughtered your citizens, Al Quaeda has.<<

US citizens have also been slaughtered by Hamas, Hezbollah, Abu Nidal, terrorists associated with and/or supported by Iraq.

1) 2002 - USAID official Lawrence Foley was murdered in Amman, Jordan, by men who reported back to Abu Musab Zarqawi, a top Al Qaeda operative, while he was living in Baghdad, under the protection of Saddam Hussain.

2) 2002- Saddam Hussain gives money to Hamas, which has numerous ties with Al Qaeda.

3) 2002 - Saddam Hussain gives money to the families of suicide bombers in Israel, who have murdered numerous US citizens in Israel.

4) 2002 - Iraq has furnished long range missiles to Hezbollah. Hezbollah is believed to have blown up the US embassy in Beirut in April, 1983, the US Marine Barracks in Beirut in October, 1983, and the US Embassy Annex in Beirut in September, 1984. Members of Hezbollah hijacked TWA flight 847 in 1985 in which a US Navy diver was murdered.

5) 2000 - many experts on terrorism believe that Al Qaeda was acting together with Iraq when the USS Cole was bombed, due to the sophistication and size of the bomb.
