In an opinion article published today in The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Scowcroft, who helped build the broad international coalition against Iraq in the Persian Gulf war, warned that "an attack on Iraq at this time would seriously jeopardize, if not destroy, the global counter-terrorist campaign we have undertaken." An attack might provoke Iraq to use chemical or biological weapons in an effort to trigger war between Israel and the Arab world, he said

complete bull$hit. The only thing these terrorist primitives understand is force. There were many states that fell in line after our success in Afghanistan, some publicly, some less so. I beleive the Saudis, Syrians, Iranians are all secretly 100% US allies. This crap you here in the media is just that, PR cover stories. When the caca starts to hit the fan we'll find out who the allies are.

But these arab islamic jerkoffs have short memories, that's why you find once openly public allied states like Jordan starting to backtrack. That's why we're seing more attacks like the bombings in Pakistan. Therefore, the US must administer another dose of force. If it has to be in Iraq, so be it.

Who in the hell ever said Iraq needed to be an "imminent threat" anyway? The Bush doctrine is one of preemption. Bush has rightly concluded that realigning the backwards arab/muslim world is the only way we will ever combat muslim terrorism. And the world will thank us.

Iraq is merely a convenient example. They are weak, they are unallied. The war will be a simple matter, divide the country into thirds according to the no-fly zones and starve out Bagdad. The kurds and other opposition groups will gladly take possession of Kurdistan in the north, and the oilfield and Persian gulf access in the south.

My only wish is that government would start to explain this reasoning to the American public.

....Or we can sit on our hands and wait form him to gain more and better WMD and use them. Now is the time. I think the Iraqi's are already an eminent threat.
