<<north korea....now they do have nukes......so what happens when we are done with iraq......
we will have to listen to the liberals defend another madman with nukes that can hit america>>

No, we will have to defend why we give North Korea millions of tons of food while they admit to a weapons of mass destruction program and shoot missle test near neighboring countries and try to negotiate peace and Iraq even though they might have them, we cant prove it.
I dont like Iraq one bit, but We are not the policeman of the world.
What I would like to do is to give Israel every weapon in our disposal to protect itself and to let them restore order as they see fit in their part of the world.
Jeff, I dont think that even one Republican warmonger as you seem to think you are, could hold one dead Iraqi child in his arms and still propose war.They have some beautiful children.Im a Grandfather so I think about Gods gift when he lets you hold a child.
Saddam dont give a dam for his people but that doesnt mean we should not.
The wounds are deeper than a simple guy like myself can propose for healing.
I pray that Jesus Christ comes soon to protect us from ourselves.

guess what....the last few days all of a sudden they find 2 weapons that they have been saying they DON'T HAVE....

Two what????
Nuclear weapon?
Chemical weapons?

What did they find?
If you are talking about those CONVENTIONAL weapons that exceed that 80 mile limit, I have a simple proposal for you. The only way they exceed that 80 mile limit is because they do not have a guidance system. With a guidance system they only have 80 mile range. The easy solution is for Hussein to put a guidance system in them and make everyone happy.

Look, I believe he is probaly hiding something so I am not so delusional. But to think he has nuclear weapons is total nonsense.

To spend $200B to take out a two bit thug is really nonsense when our real enemy Al Qaeda and Bin Laden want us to be stupid enough to attack and keep or troops bogged down there for years and also militariuly spend us into oblivion.

The simple fact of the matter is we can not afford this war
We have far bigger enemies than that thug.
Al Qaeda is the real threat.
There are no credible ties between Al Qaeda and Iraq
But.. Al Qaeda will use an attack on Iraq as a reason for attacking the US

This war is about the stupidest idea yet from an administration full of stupid ides about the economy, about where our threats are, about diplomacy, about nonsensical name calling (Bush called North Korean leader a scum sucking dod as well as a pygmy). Those STUPID actions led to North Korea accelerating its nuclear program and firing missiles over Japan.

One FN disaster after disaster.
Revolving door on his advisors and another one drops tonight. Bush has the worst advisors in the world. Even Greenspan is agruing with Bush.

This administration is totally pathetic.
We should be tracking down Bin Laden and Al Qaeda but we stupidly let them escape into pakistan. So now we go pick on a two bit thug (admittedly evil) but probably no more sop than any one of 50 dictators in rouge countries.

Not only that we bribe Turkey with $30B to do it.
We are going to waste $200B on this war or more and we simply can not afford it.
