Defeating international terrorism would be impossible without defeating Iraq. It has an extensive history of supporting international terrorism and once WMD are obtained, it would be undefeatable by a fat, soft and self-doubting world community. Furthermore, right now it's a strategic gold mine, right in the center of several nations of concern.
Yep!
...not to mention the effect on the nattering nabobs!
Who said "al Queda". Focus on what I did say.
It is time for us to call...
It is put-up or shut-up time, on the Korean peninsula.
Watch W do it with class, and the nattering nabobs in S Korea may never realize what happened. (they are just a bunch of kid anyway)
This is a short essay and index that I've pointed doubters to in the past.
Well Mr Wright, I see you didn't perform your 'due diligence' - in that -you did not take the time to read the article about *Spearing* did you? No you did not; you blighted over it and hastily made your post.
Now if you had taken the time to read the article in its entirety you would not be coming across with such ignorance of our latest U. S. technological advantages.
Of course the case might be -that you simply were unable to comprehend all that's in the Spearing article, so I'll quickly give you a partial of the bottom line of said article: - Spearing is not Bombing. Spearing simply destroys a reactor! And by the way Mr Wright - a silver-lining - there is no evidence left - as to who - threw the spear.
(or Mr Wright - would you simply prefer to continue pushing the Demcocrat Dove line - which could lead to the stable North Koreans to suddenly use one of their nuclear bombs on our 37,000 U.S. troops. Yes??
I do agree with you that we should pull all of our troops out of S. Korea fast - but how fast might the N Koreans ....detonate?)
"Dubya will never do that. Far more likely is another "bribe" a la Clinton."
As usual, like cynicom -your liberal colors prevail here.
(Marginalizing our astute President Bush - and comparing him to delusional Clinton - just won't work here today Mr Wright)
"That is the simple reality."
Yes, you are correct about realities - you do need to read the Spearing article - and ck back with us later.
Bttt
Perhaps. If so, it was at the time that he became a great liability. Or perhaps he was killed by someone other than Iraqis. If it were Iraq, I think they would have come up with a more organized cover story rather than a suicide of multiple head-wounds.
The terrorist sympathetic countries that you listed will be much less so after we establish a military presence in Iraq. That's the strategic gold mine that I referred to.
We don't want to make statements that formally ally all those nations against us. We can't attack them all at once, and Iraq is near the top as an immediate threat and is much more politically vulnerable than the others. Also, with regard to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and perhaps Yemen, we couldn't install a more pro-western government considering the sentiments of the population. We're left with one obvious target, and the political momentum dictates that it be taken care of now.
Thanks for taking the time to read the link it BTW.
The "scapegoat"? A ruthless brutal ambitious oil-rich genocidal anti-American regime developing WMDs with extensive ties to our enemies during war that tried to assassinate an ex-president can be a "scapegoat"? I think to be a scapegoat, relative innocents is required. Saddam's simply the most vulnerable of the group, and his defeat is among the most valuable. That doesn't make him a scapegoat.
On the other note, thanks for the kind words. Best holiday wishes to you as well.
