<<<An Essential War Ousting Saddam was the only option. BY GEORGE P. SHULTZ >>>> Whoooooah, now thats what I would call a masterful piece of writing and lecturing. I heard tell that an amateur banjo player, after hearing a real master play, took his banjo and tossed it out the window. I should do the same with this keyboard. But I wont, unless Bilow agrees to toss his keyboard away also. Sig

I liked these passages from GEORGE P. SHULTZ's article. "This is why the case of Saddam Hussein and Iraq is so significant. After Saddam Hussein consolidated power, he started a war against one of his neighbors, Iran, and in the course of that war he committed war crimes including the use of chemical weapons, even against his own people." Gee, who was Saddam's ally against Iran and who supplied Saddam with those weapons of mass destruction AKA WMDs? "In November 1998, the Security Council passed a resolution declaring Saddam to be in "flagrant violation" of all resolutions going back to 1991. That meant that the cease-fire was terminated and the original authorization for the use of force against Saddam was reactivated. President Clinton ordered American forces into action in December 1998. But the U.S. military operation was called off after only four days--apparently because President Clinton did not feel able to lead the country in war at a time when he was facing impeachment." Wow, it's the Republicans that let WTC happen.
