My guess (but not my preference) is that the President will not request a declaration of war, but attack based on the what congress did pass just after the September 11th attack, the right to use all force necessary.

That won't work. There is no evidence that Iraq was involved in the WTC and Pentagon attacks, and the congressional authorization was only to go after those responsible for these two attacks.

I disagree. War is not the same as crime. I believe the administration knows more than it is telling. Either way, waiting for Saddam to do something (when that something could cause a large number of American casualities) is no longer an option.

Like it or not, their are some in the middle east who have declared war against us. Saddam may or may not have had direct hand in WTC, but he is providing financing for terrorist groups.

Not doing anything (other than warning him) will not stop terrorism against this country. Taking out the source of finacial aid, and base for operations will.
