"Now it looks as though Congress is about to give Bush the green light for his shootout with Saddam rather than standing tall and insisting that U.N. weapons inspectors get another go at defanging the monster."
While I respect Col. Hackworth, I sincerely believe he's wrong on this issue..."standing tall" in this instance most certainly does not equal allowing Sodom to continue playing games with the UN inspectors, thereby delaying the inevitable!!
"Standing Tall" is voting to allow the War on Terrorism to move into Iraq as the next logical step in destroying the Axis of Evil!!

If Congress would issue Letters of Marque and Reprisal against Saddam & Co. and Osama & Co., we could be sending in teams of assassins to capture these clowns or wipe them off the map without necessarily having to drop bombs and put troops in harm's way.
