I was just wondering, when, exactly, did Iraq attack the United States, so that we have justification for attacking it? I must have missed that bit of news.

Did you miss the news about the anthrax?

Iraq has not attacked the United States yet. But it is very clear that (a) it is working on developing weapons of mass destruction to do just that, and (b) once it has sufficiently developed these weapons, it will use them to attack the United States. Perhaps you would prefer to wait? But as for me sir, I say let's roll!

They didn't, directly. But a senior agent of the Mukhabarat met with Mohammed Atta in April of 2001. Several European and State Department "experts" have tried to debunk the "airport meeting" story, but the Czechs have stood by it.

You can stick your head in the sand all you want. It will not alter the fact that someone may be coming to kill you. You and the rest of the Libertarians want to wait until Mr. Fabulous builds a bomb and then gives it to Al Qaeda for a tryout on one of our cities? Fine. Thankfully, the people have a sense of their own survival, and are ignoring the appeasement crowd.

After all, if Hitler had attacked Czecheslovakia in 1938, would the British and the French not have been justified in attacking Germany? By your logic, they would have no justification for so doing, as neither would have been directly attacked. History suggests that the British and the French followed your advice. History also suggests that there was a terrible price that was paid.

Don't you remember the Gulf War? This is the country that sued for peace based on allowing weapons inspectors unfettered access to their country, then reneged on the deal. In my mind, that's more than enough reason to go back in -- Klintoon should have never let the weapons inspections lapse without confrontation in the first place (and Bush I should never have stopped the war without taking care of Saddam). But just because they made mistakes, it doesn't mean it's too late to clean up their messes -- war has no statute of limitations.

Would it be the time they plotted to kill George Bush Sr? They don't have to attack us.

Anyone else see the Debka story about our new base in Afghanistan where we will launch operations from? Iran will be between Iraq and a hard place very soon.

1. They shoot at our planes all the time as they pass overhead.

2. The Gulf War they invaded Kuwait. We kicked some but, but left Hitler in charge. Now it is time to clean.

3. They violated terms of the Treaties signed to end the first war. Manufactured WMDs and illegally curtailed inspections being conducted under terms that ended the first war.

4. We don't want to wait to get Pearl Harbored by an Iraq with nukes.

Of course if you prefer we can leave Saddam and sons in charge.

Remember him holding that 5 year old hostage back during the first Gulf War.
