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.
You still don't get it. Saddam can only die once. We could kill Saddam easily -- it wouldn't take nuclear weapons to do it either. But we don't. Why? Because we are in a Mutual Assured Destruction standoff with Saddam. That what's the anthrax letters mean. Saddam is telling Bush: "Point the finger at me, and you'll regret it." Almost 18 months later, Bush still hasn't pointed the finger. No way would Saddam launch an attack on the US mainland of the scale of 9/11 without cast-iron back-end security. The powder in the letter to Daschle tells us he has cast-iron back-end security.
