Nice photo but the train left the station several months ago. We are now picking up the stragglers.

Just curious, was your choice of the word weasel intentional?

(If so...I like it)

Weasel? Did I say weasel?

It just seems like the right word to describe evading one's responsibities in a axis-of-weaselly sort of way.

W hath spoken.

[kayak]

I heard the remarks on the radio while driving home and that statement jumped out at me! I had not heard it stated before either.

[jla]

Very appropriate.

[G Larry]

I'd say the U.N. has 2 weeks (til Feb. 20th) to get on board.
The U.S. will then spend 1 week organizing those "on board",
and on Feb. 27th WHAMO!

It just seems like the right word to describe evading one's responsibities in a axis-of-weaselly sort of way.

I somehow figured as much.
If ya happen to run into Mr. Falwell up there, give him my best regards, from Midlothian.

Can't help you there... I'm in Northern Virginia.

And we have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells the world he does not have.

Did Bush just tell Saddam that his most secure means of communication is compromised?

[colorado tanker]

I just stand in awe of the President's moral clarity and clarity of purpose.

Clinton appointed second rate advisors so he, a second-rater himself, would not be overshawdowed. Bush has appointed the very best advisors America has and he stands in front of them with confidence as our leader. I didn't see this aspect of Bush during the 2000 campaign, but I'm deeply grateful it's there.

So is Mr. Falwell. He runs a little Church 'n a university up in your vicinity.

nothing new, nothing has changed. we knew this he is not declaring war

He is saying that Iraq's time is up. It is a defacto declaration of war, with one last moment in time for France and Germany to give up their appeasement policies and clamber aboard the US-led coalition. We're going to war.

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

The game is over.

Iraq: 0

Oh I don't think it's weasel room. Dubya has said we're going in, you either get on board or be left behind. And I don't think it will be but a matter of DAYS now and few at that, possibly hours.

[Carl from Marietta]

I know your picture is to drive home the fact that the "train has already left the station", but it would be more effective if the train were not clearly visible there on the conductor's right.

[greccogirl]

That is exactly what it is. WE ARE GOING TO WAR. That is what he said.
