Smoking in the Background - The Bush administration sits on some telling documents (Saddam's Iraq).

I wonder, does anyone think that they will use Saddams connections to terrorism in the trial?

[Mr. Mojo]

On two key fronts — Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction and his generous support for Islamofascist terrorists — the Bush administration maddeningly conceals evidence that justifies the president’s decision to topple Hussein.

Why?

Odd. Why would he sit on it and not release it?

[Darkwolf377]

I think we're all wondering that. I can't think of a good reason. Bush has been struggling to defend his decision to go to Iraq, and it's long past time for it--fatally so. The myth that Bush lied to get us into Iraq is now part of history. Every history book from now on will begin talking about Iraq as a war that divided the country, that "to this day" is questioned as no war has been other than Vietnam (which isn't really questioned anymore).

Had he brought all this data out when it was discovered it would have brought HUGE dividends, politically and historically.

So I have my doubts that these documents are very damning at all.

I assume "strategery" is involved in this nondisclosure

[lawnguy]

I wonder if they will release them during the trial.

I must admit there is a part of me that says all of his reasons were perfectly rational, and frankly the burden of proof is on the revisionists. Screw em' is a thought I have fairly frequently ;)

[Lurker]

Because some of those documents will show that the WMDs were moved into the Bekka Valley in Lebanon and Syria proper. If that information becomes widely known we'll have to open another front in the war.

So I think Bush is biding his time and waiting for the right moment to release it. Then we can smash those thugs in Damascus and clean out that rats nest in Lebanon.

The Lebanese people will love us for it.

Russia has muddied the waters concerning Syria. They have signed a pacy with them.

[processing please hold]

pacy = pact

[processing please hold]

Syria and Iran have also signed a pact. Now, russia has shipped Cruise missiles to Iran.

[Mr. Mojo]

You think Russia would attempt defend Syria if we invaded? Their army would have to go over the Caucasus and clean across Georgia and Turkey to even get there. ....and once they arrived they know they'd be slaughtered. Little to gain, everything to lose.

[Lancer_N3502A]

Me thinks all the real good stuff which more than justified the invasion is so top secret that we'll never hear about it or see it (EU, Russia, China, Syria, Iran, etc.

Which is how the Dims can dance all around the nail without actually hitting it. Of course there are those who slip in and out of the Mideast and tip our hand (Rockefeller/treason); and slither to the New York Slime (Polosi/Reid/treason) and undermine an effective counter-terrorism tool.

Could they be saving ammunition for the 2006 election ?

No. Not for a second. Syria isn't worth Moscow. But they give the world wide appearance of it. In this day and age, sometimes that's enough. They want a larger role on the world stage, and going against, even with just the appearance of it, will raise their stature in three quarters of the world.

Bush does seem to pull a rabbit out of his hat when need be. He has his reasons. I just wish he'd call me and tell me.

[processing please hold]

It has to be for that reason. There's no other reasonable explanation. He knows how important the elections coming up are.

Every time the media think they have Bush right where they want him, he slips through their fingers and leaves them with egg on their faces.

[rawcatslyentist]

It's getting to the level of Road Runner vs Coyote in the USA vs the Dims

[Lurker]

What Syria and Iran have is a suicide pact.

Sooner or later we're going to have to clean out those rats nests as well.

First the Syrians. I want Bashir Assads head on a pike..
