"Saddam indeed is a tryant and need be brought down. But, in my view, it requires an honest American president who communicates honestly with the American people in order to do this. Bush ain't the one"

You want him to be brought down, don't you? So the world must wait for a President who you feel comfortable having tea with??

OH! So this really is about Bush and you would support this if Slick Willie was in the Oval Office!

Thank you. Took forvever to get that out.

Now a couple more questions, kind sir:

If this is just about oil, why didn't we just keep Kuwait? Or invade Venezuela instead? Closer and easier target.

911 happened, Mr. OBL said, because the US has troops in Saudi. The US has troops in Saudi to protect Saudi and Kuwait from Saddam and to enforce the no-fly zones. If there were no Saddam, there would be no need for troops in Saudi and OBL could just be a billionaire playboy gambling in London casinos. Do you now see it is necessary to sink Saddam to drain this swamp?

By the way, why do you detract from your pro-war arguments by invoking silly and counterproductive statements as noted below?

>>>I make you the first recipient of The Saddam Hussein Human Shield Award Given For Protecting Murderous Tyrants.<<<

Because, kid, that is exactly what you are doing. If Saddam were and had been looking at a united United States instead of a bunch of unruly mobs, he would have gotten his butt over to exile in Libya a long time ago. Or been shot. It is only the hope that such as you can force a negotiated peace that leaves him in power that keeps him going and alive at all.

If you and your ilk will cut out the crap, we'll get this war over with and get back to minding our own business.
