Pat is as conservative as any of you yet opposes our Iraq policy. does punish the wrong people. Embargoes don't work. Starving people, hoping that a tyrant will eventually feel terrible enough to give himself up is not conservative thinking. This policy doesn't have an end game and thus it is doomed for failure.an individual is to go and get him. Anyone with any military training, indeed anyone who simply thinks about it, knows that you can't get an individual by tossing hundreds of thousands of pounds of iron from an airplane. You've got to get on the ground and go get him. Now that's where Clinton and the liberals don't have the courage or stomach to go. That's the problem with todays feelgoodism. You can't scare the madmen of the world with our big nasty weapons, they don't care about their people. So when you start a game like the one Clinton started you'd damn well better be prepared to see it to the end. This is a failed policy, and just another example of this administration talking tough and then hoping the bullies will decide to play nice. This president's foreign policy is a sad. He can't take a poll, so he can't make a decision.
