You know, it's a fine thing when so-called conservatives around the world are interventionists. If any of our current crop of 'leaders' had guts we'd fight everyone who's anti-American, not just the countries we want to pick on because we can slap them around. Instead, to borrow from Bill Maher and Ted Rall, liberal pukes who had the guts to make the point which p.o.'ed so many (because the truth hurts), we're cowardly and hiding behind our bombs.
That's why we have a nation using the Constitution to wipe John Ashcroft's butt and giving up our fundamental rights to liberty, and abrogating our only civic duty, that is, to keep the hell out of other people's business if they don't bug us.

It'd just kill you to actually use the title, "Bush Can't Take Yes For An Answer," wouldn't it?

Charley has something in common with Saddam. He hates Israel.
Israel Is a Very Costly Ally
Charley Reese
10 October 2001 First, it is embarrassing that the government of the world's so-called last remaining superpower plays the role of the tail that is wagged by Israel, a nation about the size of New Jersey.

And just which "fundamental rights" have you been made to "give up"?

" I, too, hope the United Nations shows some backbone and tells Mr. Bush: "Either obey international law or take a hike. And by the way, pay your back dues on the way out." I too hope that the United States shows some backbone and tells the UN to pick up their toys and take their anti-American roadshow somewhere else; that the New York City Board of Health has declared the UN Building uninhabitable and that it's scheduled for demolition on Halloween.
Don't let the gangplank hit you in the a$$ on your way out.

Instead, to borrow from Bill Maher and Ted Rall, liberal pukes who had the guts to make the point which p.o.'ed so many (because the truth hurts), we're cowardly and hiding behind our bombs. Speaking of pukes, I assume you are including yourself in that crowd, because obviously you've never served and been at risk to be put in Harms Way, since you seem to think that young mens lives are somehow less costly than the Bombs we build.
And further, Both you and Charly whom I normally agree with are overlooking the fact that Iraq is in VIOLATION OF THE CEASE FIRE AGREEMENT, NULLIFYING SAID AGREEMENT; and every instance of firing on Coalition Planes in the No Fly IS AN ACT OF WAR.
GO clear out the Bong Resin, or dry out, whatever, but before you insult the men and women of this country, and it's Armed Services you might want to try shedding some ignorance...

It is designed to force the Iraqis to reject it Iraq's terror support systems will be dismantled. It can go easy or it can go hard.

For too long the United States has bullied the United Nations, using blackmail and threats in order to win votes from little countries. First off, the votes of little countries don't matter, only the permanent 5 when it comes to the Security Council.
Second, for way too long these 'little countries' have been voting against us every chance they get, while gladly accepting our money to prop up their failed socialist experiments.
Personally, I don't care what the UN does or feels. I hope we do leave, kick them out of New York. Pay them back dues ?!?!?!?! I want to extract from them every dime they every got from us.
If Charley Reese wants to protect his conservative credentials, he should explain why he suddenly in favor of subordinating our sovereignty to a collection of third world dictatorships.
As for the Iraqi inspections, the very caveats that Reese mentions are a problem. 24 hour notice for his palaces (the size of counties) is unaceptable. ...and why should we believe Hussein this time? Everytime he promises to give the inspectors unfettered access, they get there only to find out they are not allowed access to where they really need to go.
Reese has also completely side-stepped the probability that Iraq does have WMD. He is asking us to give Hussein, who for many years actively obstructed inspections and compliance verification, the same credibility or more than we give the President. He ignores the pile of, admittedly circumstancial, evidence that indicates Iraq is working feverishly to build a nuclear bomb and further his other WMD.
Should we wait on Hussein's word, as Reese suggests, until we see a mushroom cloud in the saudi oil fields? This is not some schoolyard game where we can redo the play indefinitely because of a some cry-baby faking an injury. We have run out of cheeks to turn; he is on his 14th strike; we have bent over until we are about to kiss our own butt; this is it...no more stalling, we're going in.

I am afraid you are confused, the Attorney General who used the Constitution for toilet paper was Janet Reno. By the way, the death of over 3100 of our citizens has definitely "bugged" me.
