"Many, many people are concluding this assassination was an act of war by Iraq against America." Interesting take. I hadn't considered that.
Now, it seems to me that if this is our take on that assassination, we wouldn't bother with the UN at all. (No?)

I agree, but it will take the 101st more than a week to deploy even with complete equipment pre-positioning.

I was one of the few who didn't think that Powell made the case yesterday. I came away from his speech with the vague impression that it left the door open for all those who believe we should just give the inspections more time. Having said that, I believe that, ultimately, G.W. is going to have to make the decision based upon what he knows that we don't, and he must make it before God, alone. I don't give a damn about what the rest of the world thinks, I care about my country surviving and it's occupants being safe.
No one has to sell me on the idea that Sadam Hussein needs to go. Personally, I'm for covert removal as I believe there will be fewer civilian casualties. No one has to convince me that this isn't over oil. I would never expect our government to do any more than hand over the keys to the oil fields to a gratefully liberated Iraqi. I'm also for swift removal of Osama Bin Ladin should he still be around. I don't want a prisoner, I don't want a trial, I don't want to hear his name again. I want him wiped off the face of history.
George Bush must stand alone. It's the job he signed on for. This isn't a popularity contest. We don't need help. Politicians don't even have to agree over the details. Just do it! I'd back him 100 percent.

"Personally, I'm for covert removal as I believe there will be fewer civilian casualties." The whole Ba'ath Party has to go, that cannot be handled by covert operations.

That's the "Ba'ath Socialist Party," of course.

The interrogation of Zarqawi's deputy also revealed other information, details that America has decided not to reveal formally and which underscore the problems the Bush administration faces in conducting its planned military assault against Iraq. Very significant paragraph.

Maybe some of Saddam's "immaculate" WMD could accidently take out a large part of his party followers...

One official said: "A half hour after Powell mentioned his name, I'll wager he disappeared or was killed."Name more names!

Yeah, we've been kicking it around (since it's hubby's day off)all day today. Hubby's the one who's ready to go, and I was the one who kept saying, "There has to be more than just getting rid of Sadam. If the WMD's are dispersed to other sympathetic countries or terrorists, then to level Bagdad to get Sadam seems a little overkill." Hubby feels that the other countries, i.e. Syria and Libia, don't have the means to deliver, but I say with North Korea in the picture, it wouldn't be long before we had to worry about Kadafi. I don't think he's forgotten the permanent part we put in his hair during President Reagan's watch. It's going to take a generation or two to get rid of them all.
President G.W. is going to have to make this call with a lot more information than I've got, but I will respect his call when he makes it.
