War!

Exhibiting a great deal of that much-debated "gravitas," President Bush told the U.N. last week that, either they get to work stopping Saddam Hussein or the U.S. will go it alone. It is clear that the President views this next phase of the War Against Terror as essential to the safety of the world. And because of his leadership, somewhere between 65 and 80 percent of the American people support him. Over the weekend, Secretary of State Colin Powell reiterated the President's words from last week and said that we need answers from the U.N. in, "a matter of weeks, not months..." It clearly looks like war. And one big question is: What does war mean for the economy?

Excerpt. Rest of article.

It shows you how quicky things can change on the world stage. War is over folks time to go back home.

It certainly does, the latest is that the "unconditional, unfettered inspections" deal applies only to military installations, as reported by the secretary of the Arab League via Rush (and some Brit paper's website). This came out about the time you posted. The war is still on, hopefully sooner rather than later.

But if Saddam unleashes chemical or biological weapons that result in a lot of American casualties, it could be another story

Actually, if that were to happen, it would prove that the war was necessary, after all.
