mish I have decided that I spend too much time on Internet and plan to cut back severely. However, I will respond to your comments. Ret US AF General McPeak has no legitimate standing in this issue other than as a public citizen. Same as me. He has been out of the intel loop since 1994 when he retired. His full commentary ostensibly reported by "US Labor Against the War" is nowhere to been seen (other than the alleged excerpt, made on radio, in your article). I admire Baker very much. He is a brilliant man. What I don't understand is why you cite him. He prepared a post war suggested oil plan that makes good cogent sense. mish, I never said nor implied that oil wasn't going to become an issue. Oil has been and will continue to be a global concern as China and other Asian countries increase their demands exponentially, reserves stagnate and the US just plays lip service to alternative fuels. That is not, however, grounds for attacking a sovereign nation...unless, perhaps, that nation is attempting to defeat a country economically via broken contracts and subterfuge. The fact remains that I believe the President when he says that this issue is about nuclear weapons development/acquisition in the hands of a loose cannon. I believe that Saddam is willing and capable of passing chemical and biological weapons to forces opposed to the US and that our world will be safer with Saddam Hussein dead or "dethroned" and these weapons destroyed. If General McPeak said something to the contrary, then I would have to surmise that he spoke out of line. He has been in private practice for the past nine years and has no business politicizing this issue publicly with his opinions.
