A senior administration official says that Bush plans to seek a new way to control the proliferation of the world's deadliest weapons.

How?

[Maceman]

But skeptics caution hope that the war could be more protracted and more costly, and that the process of rebuilding Iraq could defy the best-laid plans.

such as France, a comrade

I wonder if the author intentionally used such precise and correct language, of if she merely stumbled into it.

The first battle of the war was fought and won by the heroes on flight 93.

Let's not forget that one of the unintended consequences of W's war would be making Europe even safer for socialism. Blair is likely to go soon and a more leftist Labour Party will be ruling the UK for the forseeable future. Spain, which is 80-90% against war will get rid of its current conservative government as soon as Spain has an election. And so will Italy. At the same time, former and probably current (closet) commies currently in power in Poland, Bulgaria, Romania and other great allies of ours may manage to keep themselves in power thanks to us buying their friendship. The EU will be strenghtened and NATO will be weakened.

Great job, I'd say.

Well President Bush has said all along that the goal of the war is regime change.

[A Vast RightWing Conspirator]

That's why I wrote 'good job'. Regime change we'll get.

It would be the first preventive war in U.S. history, the first time the nation has attacked without being struck first.

I keep forgetting; when did Serbia attack us?

[js1138]

On the other hand, if the leftists in europe have indeed been selling stuff to Iraq in violation of U.N. mandates, it could hurt the parties in charge.

[A Vast RightWing Conspirator]

Their pro-Serb propaganda was offensive. Us bombing them was the 'counter-offensive'.

[Mad Dawgg]

"I keep forgetting; when did Serbia attack us?"

Also... Viet Nam? Korea? Etc.

Have you seen a democract today on TV? They sure look 'washed out', looks like they have been drained, Wonder what the matter is.

[A Vast RightWing Conspirator]

We sold a lot of stuff to Iraq, including 'nukular' technology and, my understanding is, we are still buying a lot of their oil - meaning that Saddam's could use OUR money to improve his WMD's.

[wayoverontheright]

Bush seems an unlikely architect of a new global doctrine.

These people LOVE to piss on Bush's parade, even when it's an absolutely idiotic idea.

Let's see, what's shaping up here looks like it could be a good thing for America, so let's see....Bush JUST COULDN'T be the architect....oh, I know, JOHN MCCAIN!!!...Yeah! THAT'S the ticket!

George Bush wouldn't allow McCain to deliver the paper to the Whitehouse, and these idiots want to credit McCain for policy.

Give me a freaking break!!!

What makes you think all the "right" governments in Europe will lose?

Which is more salient an issue in Italy, Spain and the UK...an EU dominated by France and Germany or supporting a war to disarm Saddam? I say the former is a much bigger campaign issue in Europe.
