Building the case against Iraq

Iraq must be dealt with. We either do it now or wait until a nuclear weapon is detonated on our soil and then do it. I vote to take care of business before that happens.

Very Important Post.

Two words which I haven't heard any administration official use for many days:

Iraq. (The country seems to have vanished from the map)

crop-dusters. (What are they?)

I wonder why?

[Clinton's a rapist]

Given the extreme gravity of the situation we now face, I would like to wake up and hear that all of Saddam's palaces, bunkers, and chemical and biological warfare stockpiles had been nuked, and a state of Martial Law imposed until we have succeeded in policing our borders and rounding up all Iraqi agents on US soil.

I can dream, can't I?

Bill O'Reilly interviewed Mr. Woolsey on Wednesday's factor. Bill's interview is the basis of this article.

Bill extracted much more information.

[Sabertooth]

Mr Woolsey said: "Some of the states, such as Iraq, and some of the people, such as bin Laden, saw our behaviour over the last decade or two and may have a false impression that they can bludgeon the United States into submission.

He added: "I think some day - hopefully soon - they will come to the same conclusion that Admiral Yamamoto did after Pearl Harbor, which was to remark that Japan had awakened a sleeping giant.

"If the government chooses, based on the information that it has, to take military action against any other state outside Afghanistan, I believe that the world will see our reaction in that case will be ruthless, relentless and devastating.

He concluded: "In the American vernacular - you ain't seen nothing yet."

BUMP

In the penultimate paragraph Mylroie concludes: "Given how decisive America's defeat of Iraq seemed in 1991, Saddam has accomplished a significant part of his program. He has secured the critical goal of ending UN weapons inspections, and he is now free to rebuild an arsenal of unconventional armaments. he has also succeeded in thoroughly confusing America as to the nature of the terrorist threat it has faced since the World Trade Center bombing. He is free, it would appear, to carry out more terrorist attacksãpossibly even unconventional terrorism, as long as he can make it appear to be the work of a loose network of Muslim extremists." And thus Laurie Mylroie predicts Saddam Hussein will continue to attack American citizens and interests. At a minimum, we should expect attempted bombings and other attacks in the year 2001 and beyond. And so, the question about Saddam Hussein remains, what is to be done?

[truth_seeker]

So if we read all the signals, it appears Iraq will suffer a big attack, by the US. To avoid inflaming world opinion, we are trying to avoid civilian casualties in Afghanistan.

How will we mount an attack, to take down the Iraqi government, without massive civilian casualties? How can we be sure, to get Saddam once and for all?

What short of nuclear, can be devastating? Would we REALLY go nuclear?

[Clinton's a rapist]

To bust those bunkers, it will have to be nuclear. Nothing else will do it. And going nuclear will send the right message. Think how many millions of lives would have been saved in World War II if we had had the ability to respond to Pearl Harbor with A-bombs right away, instead of after four years of bloody conflict, death camps cranking away, etc. Nukes are the way to go.

I am confident the President will deal with Iraq. Besides, the scriptures are quite clear that we will!

A flair for the dramtic aren't you?

I also haven't heard the words, deficit spending, social security lockbox, decrease in defence spending. I wonder why?

Thanks for the ping, amigo. Bookmarking

"In the American vernacular - you ain't seen nothing yet."

I'm anxious.

[Senator Pardek]

Thanks for the flag.

However, I'm sick of being fed stuff like "Iraq guilty/not guilty" and "anthrax weaponized/not weaponized".

Fro now on, I'm getting all of my news from Vanity Posts.

Kill ‘em all, let God sort them out? We have the ability to meet this threat without becoming as inhuman as they are.

1 Sueann 3:19 “And on the third month after the bombing, the ruler of a great nation not yet created will strike and deal with the ruler of another nation not yet created.”

I guess I'm trying to say, why are the Scriptures quite clear that we will deal with Iraq?
