I am ready to be the world cop in fact I am tired of watching people in Rwanda hack each other to death with machete's while the UN sits in New York sipping funny drinks with umbrella's in them trying to decide why the US is a bad country. Fuck em. I am ready to re-claim that nice piece of NYC real estate and re-claim the funding we have been sending those impotent pricks and get on with it. Saddam declared war on us and anybody else he disliked long ago. I used to ignore blow hard sacks of shit like him until a handful of psychopaths brought down the trade towers. Now I'm willing to support this effort to rid the world of a mad man once and for all. Any of these other shit bag countries that don't like it can feel free to move their names to the top of the list cause I and 70% of the US are ready to be the worlds policeman. We are mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore. For our own peace we can no longer afford to ignore little shit bags in foreign lands and think they can't touch us as they proved otherwise. As my Drill Instructor so nicely put, "Either lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way." We have worked through the UN and they neither lead nor do they follow. It's time for them to get the hell out of the way.

That doesn't mean a great power like us needs to go and beat up on him. After 9/11/01 it does. OBL's followers were able to do a great deal of damage to the U.S. without using WMDs. OBL expressed his desire to harm the U.S. long before the actual event. SH has expressed a desire to do the same. I hope that the one lesson we have learned is to take these threats seriously. It's kinda like the airport, if you joke about a gun or a bomb, you are going to spend some time talking to the authorities. If you are evasive, maybe you get a cavity search. If you resist that, you may get a few bumps and bruises. Saddam resisted the cavity search, now he has a few bumps and bruises.

The Washington Times reported on July 23, 1996 that the CIA had discovered that Syria's Scientific Studies and Research Center received a shipment of missile components from China Precision Machinery Import-Export Corporation, China's premier firm selling missiles (particularly M-11s) abroad. Israeli Chief of Staff Ehud Baraq told an audience of leading industrialists in Tel Aviv on December 6, 1991 that Syria's chemical weapons capability was "larger than Iraq's." Several dual-use sites are also of concern, including a pharmaceuticals plant in Aleppo that was left mysteriously "unfinished" in 1989 after the Syrian government had invested nearly $ 40 million in its construction. Syria also runs a large urea and ammonia plant in Homs, and plans to build a $ 500 million super-phosphate complex in the desert near Palmyra. fas.org
