Without those troops, the inspectors you so love would not be within a thousand miles of Baghdad. And you d**n well know it. And the U2 overflights wouldn't be happening. Saddam did that in response to Bush ratcheting up the pressure. The ONLY thing Saddam understands is force. Too early? 2-3 weeks more, I think. Then the shooting starts. Check back then. Now, he's in the quagmire of a situation where you'll blame people carrying peace signs and not even begin to acknowledge, or at least consider that perhaps it's Bush himself who got too stupid in this. OTOH, maybe it was the idiot kneejerk liberal pacifists. Had the US and the West presented a united front, Saddam would be sipping a piña colada in Tripoli and this all would be history.
