Excellent post from Carl (Bilow) over at FADG: Hi LindyBill; Re: "You still are operating with a lot of "False Premises," Carl." Do you mean false premises like these? (1) Turkey needs the money, so they will sign up to help us invade Iraq if we just give them a few billion dollars. (2) Trade with the US is important to Russia, so she won't veto our resolution at the UN. (3) Bush has good intelligence on where the WMDs are, so the inspectors will find them and everyone will sign up for the war. (4) Colin Powell is so well respected that the world will believe it when he says that Iraq has WMDs. (5) The French are just looking for a handout, they'll come around. (6) China doesn't care what goes on in Iraq. They'll stay out of the UNSC fight because they want to protect their trade with the US. (7) The Germans are only worried about domestic politics. As soon as their elections are over, they'll come in and support us. (8) Saudi Arabia uses our weapons, and needs to sell oil to us, so they will have to be an ally with us against Iraq. (9) With Sharon in power, terrorism in Israel will soon be a thing of the past. (10) Invading Iraq will only take a few hundred Special Forces. It will happen before the elections. (11) There's no way that Mexico wouldn't support the US against Iraq. (12) We can always depend on the Canadians to give us assistance in our righteous wars. (13) Bush is not a moron. There's no way that he would make mistakes like the above 12 points. -- Carl
