"The fact that Saddam had not yet committed any attacks on the US is not a valid argument that we should have waited for him to do so." There are MANY countries that don't like us and wish us ill. We had our thumb on Iraq, and it was obviously working very well, as Saddam had NO WMD's or links to Al Quieda. Should we attack all the others too? The chimp's policy of pre-emption was a stillborn, stupid blunder, and will NEVER be heard from again. "We have been attacked and you are opposed to fighting terrorism even using conventional forces." We weren't attacked by IRAQ! What's THAT about? If a COUNTRY attacks us, by all means go to war. Terrorists AREN'T a country, and the military hammer doesn't work - it wasn't built for them. Terrorism isn't new - it's just new to US. Coordinated police action with coordinated intelligence and worldwide cooperation is the answer. Since the chimp doesn't DO diplomacy, it's one that isn't AVAILABLE to him. He's done his best to destroy that solution and set the world against us by invading Iraq. We need new leadership to undo the damage and chart a new course. Even the IRAQIS are calling for a US withdrawal timetable! What's the chimp going to say to THEM?
