Isn't that what FR is for? Discussion?

If I'm not around I'm not around. And unless you've had another screen name, I've been here a bit longer than you have.

The argument has been made so many times that it becomes a waste of breath to continue to explain it. But, one more time...

Saddam Hussein destabilizes the whole region. He gassed his own people and invaded two of his neighbors. He would like nothing better than to get his hands on nukes so he could severely punish the US which kicked him in the crotch but left him standing 12 years ago. He is definitely mean enough to do it. He runs an evil, soviet style police state. His family are just as bad as he is. He has diverted shipments of food and aid to his own purposes rather than feeding the people as they were intended. There is a lot of evidence that he was behind the Murra Federal Building, which the Govt doesn't confirm or deny -- I think to protect intelligence sources.

Looking back leaving him in power was a mistake. But hindsight is 20/20. Leaving him there at the time when there was no mandate to march to Baghdad left a bad taste in peoples mouths, but it was understandable -- even the right thing to do based on the mission parameters. What happened to the Kurds was a flat out shame. I have no idea what was behind that snafu.

That is no reason to go wobbly now. He thinks he is smarter than the rest of the world. HE thinks he has hid his shit well enough that we won't be able to find it. If he remains in power under so-called 'containment' he will be able to continue to launch adventures against us and the Israelis, like paying families to blow up their children. It is his time. It will be time for the N. Koreans and the Iranians soon enough. Right now, it is Baghdad time.

It is amazing how much the non-leftist american public understands. They understand that islam equals evil, that Saddam is a menace, and that weakness in international affairs is deadly. We will carry on and do what needs to be done for an ungrateful left and ignorant public. As a cop you should understand that feeling very well.
