JJ, I noticed it that too--mostly russia, france, beyloruss, NK. Point is though that iraq was as bush said at the time an emerging threat, not imminent but emerging once again. No there were no wmds. Yes saddam had fooled the world but with some of the world's help (public sectors as well as private) saddam would have emerged from the sanctions regime more dangerous than ever. Could the US have waited for another few months for more inspections? Sure but the inspectors would have found nothing and then perhaps the determination that there was nothing and then the removal of sanctions and then saddam reborn with the unknowable head start he was receiving prior to the war, with the help of the band of traitors and then at some time in the future wmds in the wrong hands. Hell, saddams hands were wrong enough. I think i have followed rules of logic in laying this out. Bush needs to make this point tonight in order to win, methinks. I think this is a classic case of the compelling facts not being know while the facts used to make the decision turned out to be inaccurate. mike
