Now now, Mr. Mulliner, though I have just called into work sick I am not going back to sleep. As I've said before, you don't have 4 sons (3 in Scouts, a good indicator for future military service) whose brains may get blown away in any military action. I want the current sacrifice of sons and daughters to be based on facts that the threat is imminent.

Of course you could say I have a wife and daughter who are at risk from S's WMD now, so take him out. Fair enough, my Dad killed Japanese so I'm not speaking Japanese now. We nuked their cities (another crime we are blind too: could have nuked their navy to show them to awesome weapon and futility of resistance: but that is another issue)

Let's not forget that Iraq has one of the largest populations of Christians in the Middle East. They and their families will die with bombs our taxes paid for. Yeah, yeah, war does equal death, no big news flash their...which is why war must be seen as a last option. "liberating" any foreign country is NOT our job, unless they pose a distinct, imminent threat to our nation. Israel has nukes, let Saddam tangle with that....

So, as to my challenge, why doen'st the lack of evidence concern you? I won't presume to call you a warmonger, but I think if you read the speech there are good linguistic examples of doublespeak.
