You're right.. I guess if the US had a significant chunk of those $300 Billion in oil concessions/contracts with Saddam, there would be a lot of pressure upon Bush not to overthrow Saddam. No you're still muddling negotiating in good faith with motivation. They are separate. Try again. Are any of those approaches prohibited under the language of "all necessary means", or "severe consequences"?? You missed the point again. Has the US enforced 1441. The WMD has not been accounted for. The answer is NO. The US did stuff it felt like doing. If the US decided to force all Iraqi women into prostitution that isn't prohibited by 1441. Whatever the US decides is "all necessary means" is covered by 1441? So what you're saying is that the US now controls Iraqi oil, and not the Iraqi government? I didn't say that, go read it again. That Iraq has turned over sovereign control of its natural resources to the United States, who will no receive all the revenues from it? I didn't say that either, go read it again. Wow!! I guess I must have missed something.. Pray, tell us more!! Go back and read it again. I trust you can't figure it out, but try to surprise me. to use all necessary means to uphold and implement resolution 660 (1990) and all subsequent relevant resolutions and to restore international peace and security in the area; Wow. We sure have restored international peace and security in the area. When is your vacation in Baghdad planned amidst all that peace and security? It's good to know that there is better peace and security in the region now than there was before we invaded Iraq. Send that one to the RNC for a talking point for the mid-terms. jttmab

Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "Are any of those approaches prohibited under the language of "all necessary means", or "severe consequences"??" Could you take off your legal hat and put back on your helmet for a moment? You're trained as a soldier not as a lawyer, so in this you might make a useful contribution. While reading the news on www.jpost.com, I noticed that Israel has lost a lot of Majors in this war. I found four of them: Major Yotam Lotan, 33, of Kibbutz Beit Hashita Major Roi Klein, 31, from Eli (the deputy commander of Golani's 51st battalion) Major Benji Hillman from Ra'anana Major (res.) Ran Kochba (helicopter) Now the last of these was a helicopter pilot. It's understandable to lose majors in combat in the air force, but it seems to me that losing three majors out of the relatively small numbers of Israeli Army KIA is a bit odd. My suspicion is that Israel is taking its casualties in ambushes rather than in assaults. Do you have any comment on this? Or is it higher ranks in the elite units or something else? -- Carl
