1. Specific timetables for specific disarmament items.


We have had twelve years of "Deadlines," John. The last UN resolution gave him one that he has refused to meet. You want to join the French and Germans and let him "rope a dope" some more. So that's just more of "Leave Saddam in Power."

2. If one got serious thinking along these lines, there are no doubt any number of alternative ways to think about clear disarmament goals without "regime change."


More, "Leave Saddam in Power."

3. Since Saddam is not an imminent threat and since there is no evidence of formal and serious ties to Al Q, just leave him there with serious minding capabilities.

More "Leave Saddam in Power." You have convinced yourself that we should do nothing until he is in the same power situation that Clinton has left us to deal with in NK. You would do the same, I assume, with Iran, Syria, et al.

You just want to bury your head in the sand and kick the can down the road like the last Admin did. I am delighted that people with your viewpoint are not in power.
