Are you not aware the Military has War Plans for almost any contingency on earth? Considering Iraq tried to assassinate the first Pres. Bush, that Iraq was openly violating the UN, that Iraq was shooting at OUR warplanes, that Iraq had invaded all of its neighbors, that Iraq was believed by THE WORLD to have WMD we would be GROSSLY NEGLIGENT if we DIDNT have war plans against Iraq. That is merely a HEADLINE GRABBER to sell a book. ADULTS in this country know that. GROW UP or go outside and play in your sandbox. jdn If being an adult means that your president can start a war over WMDs and there are none, and you think that's okay, then I'd rather be a kid. If being an adult means your president can say someone has links to terrorists, and that turns out to be bogus and you're okay with it, then I'd rather be a kid. If being an adult means your president can p*ss off many of your close allies,and you're okay with that, then I'd rather be a kid. If being adult means you're okay with starting a pre emptive war over nonsense, then I'd rather be a kid. And if being adult means not caring that guys are coming back missing legs or arms or part of their brains, because we have a suspect president, and you're okay with that, I'd rather be a kid. And you call yourself an American?!! The Americans I know stand up for what's right, not for what's wrong! They believe in integrity and honor, not hubris and mendacity. They will forgive a president his bumblings in public but they do not forgive a president his lies. If that's changed, then I'd rather be a kid!
