Monday is a pivotal day on the road to possible war with Iraq.

That's when U.N. weapons inspectors will give a report on their progress, and are expected to repeat what they've already said: They have found no "smoking gun" when it comes to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, they have much more work to do and they need time to do it.

From the same useful idiots who bring you USA Today...and they wonder why I refuse to subscribe to this POC. Gotta love the spell-checking on the Headline staff!

[Dog Gone]

There is a whole rash of similar editorials around the country today.

They all ignore the fact that Bush made the case to Congress last year and received its approval.

He has made the case, and these folks are intentionally lying.

Where did these people learn to speakie de english?

It's almost too easy....

France and Germany have gone on the record against a military strike anytime soon, putting two long-time U.S. allies and key U.N. Security Council members in opposition to Bush. Other Security Council participants, including Russia and China, also are saying no.

Not that they mention that all 4 of these nations have been selling weapons materials to Iraq in violation of the U.N. embargo....what moral authority do France, Germany, Russia, & China have? NONE.

What would the backlash be at home, the Middle East and Europe? Would the country's moral standing on human rights and democratic values be diminished? What would be the long-term impact on U.S. foreign relations?

When the rest of the world just elected LIBYA as the head of the U.N. Human Rights Commission, what in the he!! do we care what the rest of the world thinks of our "moral standing on human rights and democratic values"???

[P.O.E.]

As usual, no suggestions of what to do instead, other than "wait and see".

We've been waiting for over 10 years.

Time's up.

"You can do a lot with diplomacy but of course you can do a lot more with diplomacy backed up by fairness and force." - Kofi Annan, speaking from Baghdad 2/23/1998.

Well, Kofi?

Here's a better link.

It's only ten years, what's the rush?

To the left, the biggest threat facing America today is a sucessful Republican President, not some terrorists with nuclear bombs.

Have to cut these folks some slack... *someone* has to moonlight writing the Florida ballots so the chads can hang...

It's 1997 and the occupant of the White House is eyeing an intern, feeling a strong impulse to initiate an act of fornication...

But the president had better think twice.

He must show patience. He must show restraint.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Imagine the horror of liberated Iraqis waving American flags in the streets (like the little covered rally in South Korea yesterday.) Imagine voters all over the country turning out in 2004 chanting "Four more years!!" Imagine the U.N. being disbanded, imagine Marxists losing control of the schools and the media, imagine capitalism spreading to the furthest corners of the world and bringing up everybody's standard of living! Oh no!!

[Smile-n-Win]

Ya know, patience and restraint are good things when you are about to do the wrong thing. But, if you want to do anything successfully, or indeed if you simply want to live long--they are NOT what you should show when you are about to do the RIGHT thing.

The usual litany of "peace in our time" hand-wringing from people who won't face ugly truth. No matter, they've lost. Their fear, their shakes, their hand-wringing is not destined to be public policy. They've lost, and they pretty much know it. Now it's down to listening to them bleat their final misgivings before pushing them out of the way.

It's a cosmic injustice that such people will live because people like us are willing to do difficult and scary things. In an alternate universe they would die in an anthrax attack a year or six months from now, and as they gasped their last they would wonder which orphanage, which day care center they might have built that would have made their killers love them.

There is no getting through to such people; they are not in our reality. Where they live, murderous dictators can amass mountains of poisons and gases, and as long as it isn't being sprayed on us right now, everything is fine. Let's worry more about the economy.

They are children, whatever their age, and I suppose it is up to those of us who can see the consequences of inaction to save them from their own ignorance and stupidity. It's a shame, though, that afterwards we can't send them to their rooms, or ground them for a year.

"rush to war"

Even Kristol said this was a stupid comment - when FOX played the clip of Kerry making that same statement.

As usual, the dims are showing what idiots they truly are.

I especially liked the way the NY Post handled Hitlery's stupid statements about national security. Excellent!!
