Thoughts on Iraq

Bush’s explanation in his State of the Union speech for why we need to attack Iraq right now was unconvincing. Here are a couple of questions that have not been answered:

Where is the link between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein? Not only has the Bush administration given us zero evidence of a connection, but many experts think that a connection is unlikely given the fact that one society is secularist and the other is fundamentalist... There is no reason to think that they are on the same side, fighting for the same cause.

Is the fact that Saddam Hussein has violated a United Nations resolution really a justified reason for going to war? Many countries have violated specific U.N. resolutions and not provoked war. A prime and very current example of that is North Korea, which has violated U.N. resolutions and treaties as they pursue a nuclear arms program, but which we feel we can contain through diplomacy ... could this be because they don’t have oil?

Here are some recent articles from prominent foreign policy experts that explain more about why I am opposed to this war right now:

We'll all missing an angle soooo obvious here, maybe as obvious as the honker on Bab's face.

Saddam smokes.

When does the bombing begin?

I won't comment on anything physical about BS, as she can't help what she was born with ------but as to her opinion on anything? They are nothing. Her script writers forms words that she wants to hear, and they obviously have a bias when looking up "prominent foreign policy experts".

Whenever she speaks up, I am always reminded of that scene, when she was reading her speech at Harvard, and had absolutely no idea how to answer questions from the audience. She is empty - nothing - vacant.

Does anybody actually care what "Streisand's Thoughts on Iraq" are?

Remember she sent that "memo" to the Democrats via Gepfart giving them marching orders on how to stop Bush on Iraq? ....
... and a week later the Democrats joined Republicans in voting FOR the resolution giving Bush the power to move against Iraq.
I mean..who exactly is listening to Streisand's inane rantings?

[Calpublican]

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah....More drivel from the woman whose brain got stuck in her nose.

If brains were dynamite, Babs couldn't blow her nose!
