They sure do.. I can't say that I've talked with even one soldier who has any qualms about why we're here, and that includes the boys from the 1st Armored who, after 15 months, just pulled out of here.. (I'll miss them, but I appreciate the satellite dish, microwave, and refrigerator they left behind.. ;0) I wish I could say more, but I really can't. However, let's just say that much of the information that I discovered while researching, and that I presented out here via open sources remain compelling.. Especially that little story the other day about British STANDING BY their intelligence that Saddam was trying to purchase Uranium from Niger. And they said they had several reliable sources substantiating the assertion."UK government inquiry into the intelligence used to justify the war in Iraq is expected to conclude that Britain's spies were correct to say that Saddam Hussein's regime sought to buy uranium from Niger. The inquiry by Lord Butler, which was delivered to the printers on Wednesday and is expected to be released on July 14, has examined the intelligence that underpinned the UK government's claims about the threat from Iraq." outsidethebeltway.com So Ambassador Wilson knows where he can kiss it.. As for the French and their "alledged" complicity with the Ba'athist government in subverting the sanctions (all open sourced), I'm just going to have to bite my tongue and suggest we move our cemeteries from French soil. IMO, once it's declassified (or if), there will be a hell of a story to tell.. All from over millions of pages of original sourced Iraqi documentation.. As for our little "movie maker" aka child molester... stand by.. I'm sure we're hear more about him in coming months...(I really don't know when). And the oil for food scandal?? Well, that's going to be a real political football, just as I suspected it would be.. Hawk
