Well, it looks like we screwed up. There weren't any WMD. I'm going to catch hell for saying this, but I think it would be a good idea for Colin Powell to go back to the UN and said, "We were wrong. We'll try to do better next time." (Colin's on his way out anyway, so he can take the fall on the world stage.) I think it's always best to admit your mistakes rather than try to hide them. Trying to hide them just makes you both wrong and dishonest.

Nice play by the US. Declare nothing there and see what Syria does.

The Bush WH will be criticized either way.

I wish one of these jokers would dare to try to explain to the residents of Halabja that Saddam's nerve gas was just a figment of their imagination.

Won't happen. As far as catching hell goes, you are a newbie, (12-29-04) we will give you a pass.

I'm not convinced. Chemical weapons were found in small quantities. Yellow cake was found all over the place and it was poo pooed since it is not weapons grade (but is a raw material). The Niger allegation was found to be true (Wilson false). Centrifuge parts found buried. Alleged bioweapons vans said to be for making hydrogen (yea right). This man was a threat, if not immediate, then in the future when the next wimp president would loosen the noose more than Clinton did. Bush did the right thing. They are disarmed and disassembled as a military machine.

I do believe that some weapons stuff was sent to other countries. That needs to be tracked down.

Say you're a police officer chasing a suspect. The suspect turns and points what looks like a real gun at you. Of course, you shoot him. Upon close inspection it turns out that the suspect only wanted you to believe that he had a real gun, when in fact it was an immitation toy gun.

Now tell me... who screwed up? You, or the suspect?

No one can deny that Saddam wanted the world to believe that he had WMDs. What choice did we then have? We didn't screw up....Saddam did. He gambled that if the West thought he had WMDs they would leave him alone, and the Arabs would see him as a successful, defiant leader to the West. He thought wrong.
