Of course Iraq is Bush's tar baby now and always has been since he was elected. Thats why the Buck stops with him (a democrat pres. saying). I believe we are on the right course, to turn this over to an uncaring UN would be a big mistake and NOT remove the "tar baby" from Bush's shoulders. Let face it WE ARE THE UN. Without the USA the UN is nothing but a bunch of hens at a hen party. Worthless as tits on a bull. I did see something that General Clark suggests that might be useful IF its possible. That was to FORCE the Saudis to provide to us a COMMANDO TEAM (if they even have such a force) to help find Bin Laden, well why not to help find Saddam also? We are desperately short of Arabic speaking soldiers so any we can round up that are dependable ought to be a big help. jdn

Not just Neocons. 1. "One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 2. "It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002 3. "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 4. "Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998 5. "He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
