Time's a-wastin', that's the deal. It seems there's a crowd here that either (a) hopes Saddam gets the Bomb soon, or (b) believes Atta met with a senior Iraqi intel muckety-muck to exchange falafel sandwich recipes.
Can't wait to see the body bags come home?
Nope. Ain't gonna wait for Saddam to cap off a nuke in the Nevada desert and announce that there's five more hidden major US cities, and would we be so kind as to (a) give him the Gulf region, (b) start paying $100 a barrel for oil, and (c) help him destroy Israel, and MAYBE he won't cap off one of those nukes for yucks.
Strike him now BEFORE he's a threat, not after he actually BECOMES a threat. I'm sure you never gave Mr. Charles or the NVA time to get their crap organized before opening the ambush.
We got totally rushed into Vietnam with no discussion and no thought as to what would constitute victory (of course there could have been NO victory, as Robert Strange McNamara knew at the time but declined to share... does THAT inspire trust and confidence in your gooberment?) or how we would exit the place or even how long we'd be there... so come on and debate the ISSUES... drop the 5 bs and be the man you used to be.
Fine. Your bitterness is blocking your ability to see the problem in front of you.
Saddam has got to go. NOW. The Freerepublic Saddam fan club is getting a wee bit tiresome.
