Oh puhleeze! This retort is soooooo tired. You know very well that they won't be sending a mother with no combat experience to the front line. So I can sit here and claim I'd be willing to go, but that would be meaningless. I am the grand daughter of a WWII vet. I am the daughter of a Vietnam vet. I am the wife of an Air Force officer. I am the mother of three boys. I know very well the costs of serving one's country. No one wants to see his loved-one in harm's way. But if this circumstance doesn't warrant military action, I don't know what does.
These circumstances may require action but only if sufficient verifiable evidence is presented to Congress. The word of Texas oilmen alone is not sufficient to send our sons and daughters to fight for an oilfield. If the Administration can prove to Congress that Iraq presents an imminent threat to the U.S. then we must go to war, but not until then!
