re:So far the cost of a "Policy of Preemption" has been the death of 500 soldiers and our relations with the French and Germans.

And about 3200 wounded on our side...not to mention 10's of thousands of Iraqi dead and wounded. We were in Saudi Arabia to protect our oil interests, not defend against Saddam, at least not as a primary objective. Saddam was a gnat on an elephant's ass.

Why do you think the 911 terrorists were almost all Saudi's?
