And now, the real reason:

Contradicting Some U.S. Officials, 3 Scientists Call Anthrax Powder High-Grade

Saudi Arabia is our Enemy bump.

[FredZarguna]

No Arab society anywhere has ever manifested the slightest desire for freedom as we understand it.

Are the Kurds Arabs? If so, one has to ignore what's been going on in Iraqi Kurdistan for the last ten years.

But in a broader sense, You have to question the truthfulness of any such generalization. All we really know about the Arbas is that those inclined to political action [an power-wielding] so far have been hostile to the idea.

That doesn't mean it really holds for all Arabs. Iraq might be the best testing ground: it has been largely secular, wealthy, and well-educated. We shall see...

[Democratic_Machiavelli]

Amazing how he easy over-simplification is, especially when you ignore the demonstrations by those in S.A. who love the West.

But the legitimate basis for a war on Iraq is not America's desire to bully the world and spread her empire, with or without the neocons' phony, sanctimonious moralism. It is America's survival.

True, but when you're fighting for survival, you can make good use of sanctimonious moralism. Heck, you embrace it, if it'll help.

"Conversely, neocons are politically connected globalists, who think that Leviathan is great, if it can be made to serve "our side"; they support "civil rights"; are pro-immigration; champion a radically interventionist foreign policy; love Israel; and think that being an American comes down to supporting certain philosophical propositions, regardless of whether one was born and raised in Tennessee or Timbuktu."


Hmmm...sounds like I'm a neocon...

But for now, we will fight a proxy war, with Saddam standing in for the house of Saud.

If Saudi Arabia didn't sit on so much damn oil, Bush could have included them in his axis of evil. And there are three oil giant countries we have to deal with in that region - Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran. If we invade Iraq, we've split them apart. If we stabilize Iraq, the mullahs in Iran have lost their justification to hold onto power, namely as a shield against Saddam. And if we stabilize Iraq and Iran as oil producers, it blunts the edge of the Saudi oil sword, and we can take on the ultimate enemy in the terror war - Wahhabism. That, IMO, is where the end game lies.

Whatever happened to the Anthrax scare here? Who did that?

[Landru]

Thought you'd enjoy reading this guy's POV.
I especially didn't want you to miss this though because it's the one & only point the Liberal-Socialists are trying so hard to obscure.

"Note that, apparently unbeknownst to the socialist, mainstream media, and the paleo, alternative media alike, the proxy war actually began 12 years ago, and has continued ever since, against a dictator who, if we do not end things now, will soon be trading in Samoud missiles for nuclear missiles."

...Nic hasn't taken his eye off the ball.

[Landru]

Thanks for the ping, mr.
Nic really wrote a nice piece, here.

Stixx does a pretty good job of grouping -- by definition -- the prevelent "conservative" pundits who've assumed the role of speaking for the political right these days, too.

OK, so talk!
Where do y'all fit-in here?

...paleo *or* neo?? ;^)

[cavtrooper21]

I think the REAL enemy is.... us.
For all the resons that have been listed here a thousand times (in the last 48 hours!)
Sure, we have loads of people that "hate" us, but what about the enemy who enters your house with soft words of friendship and deceict in his heart rather than breaking in the door by force.
The lies and reshaping of our history, the slow eroding of the basic moral fabric that binds this nation together, and all of this done under the misnomer of "freedom"!
The "liberal" politicians, the "gay" rights groups, the "socialist" agenda pushers and worst of all, the "I want the privleges and benifits but not the responsibility" crowd. All of these are the enemy, but they represent our fellow Americans. You might even call some of them friends.
We here are some of the front line troops in this battle. The messages here, news from the front.
Are we winning?
