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.
