Kit Bond and all should be aware that it is
Iraq
and not us who should provide evidence.

Smart politicians, politicians who are smart enough to rise to the Presidency of the US, don't proceed with the kind of confidence Bush has without an ace as a hole card. Contrary to what pundits think, Bush is indeed extremely careful. However he has a knack of making the opposition believe he is bluffing when he is not..
To: lavaroise
I think coming on the heals of Clinton, telling the truth as Bush does is hard for people to accept

capitan_refugio claims: "
This is the type of stuff you would pick up with a "Keyhole" or high altitude overflight."
That's a commonly held misconception. No such technology exists to detect earthbound radioactive sources from orbit or high altitude overflight.

That's 2002, not 2003!

The 2003 SOU speech is 1/28.

Some truths are too hard to handle. Thats what nuclear weapons are for. Instant annihilation. No truths or falsehoods to decipher. But clearly, Bush is doing far more then just ratcheting the pressure up on Saddam. He is placing far more military assets into the region then is required to conquer Iraq. It looks like 150,000 just from the US. Thats one large badass army. Have you seen any of the videos of Saddams recent Military parades. Its hard to look at his 'military personnel' without laughing. You are correct in noting however that the UN charade and the delayed build up are being slowed for some reason. BTW - The possible Iraq and Anthrax connection was finally talked about in the mass media. Better late then never I suppose.

The most fun would be if the evidence comes from MI6. That would explain why Tony has been on board from the beginning. And it would be nice if it was a nonAmerican source so the liberals couldn't claim we manufactured it.
So, hope your side cements the case, Ivan!
To: Slick
The only exception I can see is the current mess of the Education bill. You can thank Jeffords for that. It was because we lost control of the Senate.
And for Bush, getting the testing mandated and started and the disaggregation of results mandated was the crux of the matter. Once the truth is known and published and widely available, people can act on it.
It's a FReeper idea.

Gen. Al Haig (ret.), former Secretary of State, said today that President Bush has powerful family pressures working on him not to go to war without the UN.
Does anyone know which family member this pressure is coming from?
To: patriciaruth
Does anyone know which family member this pressure is coming from? Who cares. The UN is totally irrelevant. Do what is right and damn who gets in the way.

This comes from a little blurb stuck in a New York paper that Laura Bush opposes the war. It was a gossipy, non-sourced, speculative piece, and in my opinion had no veracity. Haig has apparently drawn his conclusion from that piece, since as far as I know he doesn't frequent the Bush family inner circle.

Oh come on now! Why not be like Sheryl Crow?
To: rintense
I don't believe in Sheryl Crow. According to some German philosophers that would mean she doesn't exist.
If only.

Someone should tell Sheryl Crow that foreign policy is discussed in more appropriate venues than t-shirts.
To: Formerly Brainwashed Democrat
Defectors? Here's one of them - Dr. Hamza:Iraqi nuclear physicist. Perhaps Dr. Hamza was wise enough to gather evidence?

Someone should tell Sheryl Crow that foreign policy is discussed in more appropriate venues than t-shirts. You're presuming she has the intelligence to attempt discourse in any other manner. Given the evidence, that seems unlikely.

Tony Blair is coming here to mindmeld with Dubya at Camp David on January 31. I don't think he would be out of his country just after a war started, so I believe the shooting or the abduction of Saddam takes place after that.
OTOH, it may be that the "planned" visit is disinformation. However, with the interim report by Blix to the UN coming around January 27 or 28, and President Bush's promise to France and Russia not to go code red until the weapons inspectors got back for report,--i.e. got out of the way of the bombs, I don't believe we'll see the skies light up till after the 31st.
And I think that President Bush will tread water at the State of the Union speech on the 20th, just saying the usual and something cryptic that will let us tealeaf readers know what the deal is. The timing of the SOTU speech is unfortunate in regard to Iraq, but a duty to be done at the time prescribed by the Constitution.
