Ever consider we need those airfields and ports in Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait to wage our war on terror? Bashing all Arabs and wrapping Sharon in the American flag means our fight against terror will go nearly as well as it could. It would be longer, more expensive and lead to more Americans being killed.

I know many on this forum could care less about all that but some do.

Oh, I do: I just wish stupid statements like this would just ...NOT HAPPEN, particularly in light of the SA payment-to-families in the news today....

If we want the airfields in Quatar, Kuiwait, etc., we can take them any time we damn well please whether the ragheads like it or not.

Bahrain is trustworthy basically but Saudi Arabia should have been our 1st target after 9/11. Qatar is another Wahabbi state and the Wahabbi sect has to be utterly wiped out from the face of the earth before this is over Bush Sr is a moron.

So we should kiss the a$$e$ of a couple of little countries and sell our allies down the river so that our own battles are easier. I guess there is a point where morals don't count and we ignore any pledges we made.

I've always believed in the Golden Rule, too bad Bush doesn't. Our letting Israel down, will come back to haunt us. Just as his father didn't finish the job in Iraq, and it's come back to haunt us. Just as clinton ignored OBL, it came back to haunt us.
