Robin Cook is a Silly Prat!

[Quix]

I'm all for protecting civilians etc.

Actually, quite a lot.

HOWSOMEVER,

Have started to wonder . . .

How much and how long is it wise to run this war

QUITE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH ON THE SOFT TOUCH

. . . CRUISE-MISSLES-WRAPPED-IN-RABBIT-FUR . . .

so to speak.

We are STILL talking about our SURVIVAL, after all.

This snake/octopus has connections to LOTS OF NESTS OF VIPERS.

We MUST win a decisive victory and not take forever doing it.

CAN WE REALLY ?SUCCESSFULLY? ?AFFORD?

TO PUSSY-FOOT AROUND QUITE SO MUCH????

I don't know.

What about wiser souls hereon and their opinions about this issue???

[What Is Ain't]

Last night former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook launched a devastating attack on the conflict, branding it a 'bloody and unnecessary war'.

Former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook is a bloody and unnecessary former Foreign Secretary.

Seems to me that the logical way to fight these terrorists would be to get enough native Iraquis planted in the local communities to identify the Baath party members and then to systematically wipe them out.

If the Iraqui people could just figure out that we're trying to help them and find the courage to help US this could be over in no time at all.

"He warned that more suicide bombers were being prepared."

Japan used Kamikazi pilots in desperation and the tactic failed. It will fail here. Saddam and his asshole supporters have alot to answer for here. Let's not forget that in the days to come.

"If I find the press of Memphis actuated by high principle and a sole devotion to their country, I will be their best friend; but, if I find them personal, abusive, dealing in innuendoes and hints at a blind venture, and looking to their own selfish aggrandizement and fame, then they had better look out; for I regard such persons as greater enemies to their country and to mankind than the men who, from a mistaken sense of State pride, have taken up muskets, and fight us about as hard as we care about. In haste, but in kindness, yours, etc.,"
W. T. Sherman, Major-General.

Saddam's deputy warns that Britain and America are to be targeted by suicide bombers, as US prepares for final assault on Baghdad

The perfect reason to throw all noncitizen, nonChristian Arabs out of both countries and carefully investigate the citizens. The consequences to innocent Arabs will be very sad indeed, but there is no other solution that will protect us. As long as there are Arab Muslims we will be in danger from them.
