My position is consistent. In the case of Korea, the U.S. has stationed troops on the DMZ for 50 years without any intention of having them invade North Korea. In the case of Iraq, the U.S. placed thousands of troops in neighboring countries knowing full well that they were going to invade Iraq.

To use the terms "in close proximity to" and "inside" interchangeably with regard to the recent events in Iraq is not inconsistent.

Alberta's Child,

You need to stop defending to dirtboy a point ("the US would never place troops near a WMD country") which you've already admitted to me is bogus.

The US did this in 1991 and you know it, you even gave me your theory for how they did it successfully (without having the WMDs used). So why are you still defending this bogus point?
