Now Dave let's just sit back do nothing and take those numbers I just sent and see how many times they can inflict this again. But People like American Spirit would have us sit and wait. No actually they would like to go after the religious right and Jerry Falwell who they believe is the real enemy.

Saddam is not going to bomb us here, Al Qaida will. Dont get the two confused. Saddam is not that stupid, though he is crazy like a fox and sometimes miscalculates. He is more concnerned with hanging onto regional oil power, the same thing Bush wants to take from him. This is all about oil with Saddam, not terrorism. That is an administration lie for domestic consumption. By the way, nice news them nabbing the #3 Al Qaida guy. Maybe they'll finally find Osama now. About time huh?
