What I'm suspecting is that I'm hearing bullcrap from both Saddam Hussein and from the White House. The resulution is simple. Take up Hussein's agreement on inspections. If we are barred at the door from inspecting a suspicious area, dial in a cruise missile and blow whatever it is up within 20 minutes. The ticket is cancelled right there. It should have been that way from minute one.

Saddam wants to be a recalcitrant hot shot. Bush wants a war and a crisis to puff his chest about.

[RepublicanChick]

I would have to say, "enuf said!" Thanks for the post.

[CyberAnt]

The letter says we can only inspect military sites, not hospitals or schools.

Guess UNCONDITIONAL has a different meaning to Iraq!

[Senator_Palpatine]

"Saddam is a fool and naive....he is more foolish than I thought...."

"FEAR IS OUR ALLY" "The Regional US Special Force Commanders will now have control over these Iraqi territories....FEAR will keep the Republican Guards in line.....FEAR of the Highway of Death retaliations....."

[Roger_W_Isom]

SO!!! I wasn't the ONLY one to notice!!!! As soon as GW saw that he must have burst out LAUGHING!!!! Only a FOOL would say that wasn't a ploy!!!!

[CyberAnt]

Actually, if you go to WhiteHouse.gov and read the list of offences by Iraq, the word UNCONDITIONAL appears many, many times. However, upon further reading, you find the same CONDITIONAL approach each time.

If Iraq thinks this will work with GW, he's sadly mistaken. I agree with George Will - Sadaam thinks he's still dealing with an x42 type, and he has no idea what he's in for.

[CyberAnt]

You are so wrong about Bush - I cannot tell you how far off you are.

As for Sadaam. The White House already knows the letter from Iraq said there was a condition to the inspections. We can only inspect military sites, not hospitals or schools. It never was UNCONDITIONAL. Kofi LIED!

Of course, that would pretty much tell us that hospitals and schools are where Sadaam will hide his stuff. We CAN'T bomb it ... the hospitals and schools are filled with innocent people. We know that ... and so does Sadaam.

Also ... even if we could call in a strike on a location they would not let us inspect ... what happens to the inspectors who are still there??

Your logic and your perceptions are way off the beaten path. You can disagree with GW if you want to, but don't make snide remarks about his character when you have nothing to back it up.

The Peanuts cartoon of Lucy holding the football - and promising Charlie Brown she won't pull it away, this time - comes to mind.

This time Charlie ain't buyin it.

[Diddle E. Squat]

= Iraqi Hostage Crisis.

No thankyou. Bush ain't falling for the ploy. War before the end of this year.

Great idea for a political cartoon! Everyone remembers that image so the idea would be immediately clear.

---------------------------------

A few years back on, I think May 27, I happen to remember a presidential candidate debate between McCain, Bush, and Alan Keyes. Bush and NcCain spent a major proportion of the time arguing over who was putting nasty campain literature on whose windshields so as to avoid talking about serious issues. There was demand to force drug companies to produce medicine of demanded types at prices people arbitrarily wanted to pay. Dr. Keyes brought up the constitutional issue of involuntary servitude relative to this. Bush and McCain drowned Keyes out and laughed him off the stage. At that point it was clearly demonstrated who the bums were.

As far as I'm concerned Bush has neither character nor intelligence. You can agrue with that from your level of understanding, but it won't change my evaluation.

[RLK]

I don't trust Bush. I don't believe he's competent, honest, or intelligent. Period. Neither did I like McCain or Owlgore.

That says more about you character that it does about Bush's. I won't comment on your intelligence until I see some.

[RLK]

I'll stand with what I said.

[hchutch]

"General Franks, prepare your troops."

"Saddam is as clumsy as he is stupid."

[CyberAnt]

"my level of understanding"

Is that statement anything like "you're too stupid to understand".

Typical liberal - reduced to name calling.

And ... for whatever it's worth, I saw that debate and there is no way your candidate was laughed off the stage.

[RLK]

Is that statement anything like "you're too stupid to understand".

-----------------------

It's a combination of unwillingness, and incapability to examine anything beyond superficiality.

I notice you don't answer why Bush, as well as McCain, refused to address the legitimate constitutional issue Keyes brought up during the debate.

Oh, wait a minute. I know what's coming. The all purpose answer used to deflect serious questions. "First, you gotta win."

[CyberAnt]

Excuse me ... is there some reason you are blaming me for Key's poor performance?

I personally don't care for Mr. Keys; but to each his own. If you like him, be my guest. But don't try to blame me because he didn't do well.

I have been a Bush supporter since before most people. He's not perfect. There are things he has done in the last 2 years which I don't agree with.

The danger is people try to throw the baby out with the bath water. Even if there are a few things I don't agree with GW about, I'm not going to pull my support over ONE issue.
