U2 Flights area a PART of 1441!!!! Roger that...so it stands as proof that Hillary's aim is to delay, not to enforce. Enforcement has failed.
I think the left is trying to delay us as long as possible for 3 reasons...
Give them a chance to swing public opinion.
Give Saddam a chance to move his WMDs out of country or hide them where they will never be found.
Let Saddam get his nuke so we back off.
Delay therefore is the enemy of the Bush administration. Time to go.

Some people don't have the sense that God gave a goat.
So true. Jim Angle just said on Fox News that history is littered with leaders who would not face the fact that a dictator was planning evil. (paraphrased)

Powell laid out an unequivocal and comprehensive case against Saddam Hussein for the entire world to see. The question is not whether we will now act in time. The question is if it is now too late to avoid massive casualties of Iraqs chemical and biological weapons.
Any country that fails to join the Crusade of Righteousness to remove Saddam Hussein post-haste, should be viewed not merely as negligent, but as a committed enemy of the United States and World peace.

WOW. if this is "conservative"....I'm scared sh**less!! Yes, me too. I work with a man who has a son graduating from Ranger school very soon. I guess it's safe to say that we have forces in place in case Sadham decides to 'use them instead of lose them'.

It sounds like all of these responses ( China, Russia, and Cameroon ) were written way ahead of time and nothing Powell said was taken into account. The UN's a$$ is on a ledge on this one, and it looks they're about to go over. All suggested more time for inspections in a hope that the Iraqis will get tired of hiding their WMD.

Where the heck is Cameroon??In Africa. It used to be called French Cameroon. He wants Kofi to go to Iraq to speak to Saddam. BWHAHAHAHAHA!
To: Corin Stormhands
In general I agree. But sometimes knowing what your enemy is thinking is helpful.The problem is that those folks don't think. No matter what, they will bash Bush and take the Marxist-liberal position on everything. We are just wasting our time worrying about them.
As well, we don't need to get into a pissing contest with that other site. They are simply not worthy of our attention. So I vote for keeping that crap off this website too.

i think i am in favor of bombing cameroon also at this point. Agreed. We have plenty of cans of whoop-ass to go around.
To: Chess
"...What about all the innocent life that will be lost?"Okay, how about carpet bombing (ArcLight)?
Or firebombing (Dresden)?
Either is satisfactory to me if you're too squeamish to do what needs to be done.

Camaroon wants Kofi to visit Saddam. LOL--I wonder whether Kofi thinks that is a life threatening endeavor after listening to Sec'y Powell.
