1-More Afghan syndrome
2-Rats hate war
3-This damn thing has just been too successful

I would add #4 to your comments:

#4: How much money do these Rats get from various Iraqui sources and the Opecker Nations? Absolutely amazing that they defend Sadaam and want to protect him.

It is obvious that they want to protect their buddy, Saddam from GW's question of "Who's Next?!"

[TADSLOS]

Maybe GW should use the same level of caution with the war on terror as the senators use in leaking secrets.

Bush is going to blink
probably already has
shameful to watch.

Roberts and McCain are (supposed to be) Republicans.

Actually, I have been thinking that after the 7 nations who are possible nuclear targets leak GW should do the following:

Tell the leakers, Kerry, ChiFi, Leahy, Da$$hole and other rats and maybe McAinal, that he really doesn't intend to invade Iraq. That he is just trying to have Saddam expend a lot of resources getting ready for the invasion that isn't coming to wear out his men and equipment from being in a constant state of awareness. Also, tell the rats, that we don't have enough weapons, man power and technology to really invade Iraq on a successful basis for the next year or two.

Then, after the rats run and leak this info to Saddam and other Islamic buddies who finance their campaigns, wait until Saddam stands down and take him out in an incredible high tech display of destruction. Destroy him and his chronies in 24-48 hours.

Then seize all of the oil wells in Iraq and turn them up to full production and have Russia do the same. That would bankrupt the Saudi Princes and Kuwaiti Princes in a few months. That would be the eventual end of terrorism. No finances from the Opeckers would mark the end of Islamic terrorism!

Nah, the venom expressed daily by the Bush/Republican haters is what's shameful to watch! Actually, I don't watch it very much any more! The 80% of Americans who love this country and want to improve it don't have time for the 20% of the Axis of Whining Weasels and their whining!

Bush is selling us out to the Saudis. He does not have what it takes.

[TADSLOS]

Sounds like a good plan to me.

[OldFriend]

For eight years we have heard nothing but how former President Bush failed to go all the way to Baghdad and kill Saddam Hussein. Now we are hearing the dems say we shouldn't go to Baghdad and kill Saddam Hussein. The dems are totally insane and the media pretends it's the republicans who are out of touch with reality.

The hypocracy from the dems and the media is mind boggling.

[Grampa Dave]

Bravo Sierra, you guys don't have what it takes in this war on terrorism!

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Exactly.

[a_witness]

• Bush has never fought a war.
• He will blink.
• He does not want Israel to fight the terrorists.
• He will cut a deal with the Saudis for the economy and pull his punches
• It seems Sharon was correct in his speech about Czechoslovakia.
• I wish it were otherwise.
• Powell and the Arabists have won the day and shamed America

[theoutsideman]

These pussy senators would do well to keep their gutless flaps shut!

[OldFriend]

Days like today (Pickering), the war in the middle east and Bush's comments, make me despair!

[a_witness]

With "Bush's comments" what does it matter ?
We have an American version of Neville Chamberlain.

[Argus]

I too have been trying to square Bush's latest stance on Israel v. Arafat with what I think I know of the man (i.e. smart, devious and determined), and have seriously been considering the following scenario:

1. GWB is keenly aware that bottlenecks in the logistics pipeline will delay and slow down the Iraq Attack for some months to come.

2. He also needs to keep our Muslim "allies" in line at least through the conclusion of the Iraq campaign.

3. Until that point, the name of the game is mollifying them regarding the Palestinian question - i.e., be seen as working to restrain Israel from wiping out Arafat and company.

4. Once Iraq is conquered and Saddam is gone, GWB will unveil his real agenda - turning liberated Iraq into a democratic US ally and the new Saudi as our principal oil source; converting Iraq into the marshalling ground and launch point (along with Afghanistan) for the attack on Iran; and unleashing Israel to destroy the terrorists in the PA, Lebanon and Syria.

At least, I hope this is the plan and the reason for Bush's latest and continuing round of Israel-restraining talk.
