What an fool not to see the nexus to terrorism

[xJones]

You know you're going to get "incoming", but there has been something strange about picking out Iraq as El Hombre Numero Uno. North Korea is rattling proven nuclear drums, but Saddam remains the primary target.

"If we do go to war, I will support our troops[snip]"

I'm getting sick of this expression "support our troups" the way I'm sick of "for the children".

Support them how? Think harmonious vibes at them? Hope they have good karma?

Barf.

Yadda, Yadda, Yadda,drivel, blather, yada, yada, yada.

How can a person get paid for such recycled drivel.

As a matter of fact, with the new spy sattelite technology, who needs a U-2, anyway?

If this is an example of the level of this guy's analysis, his opinion is worthless.

[angkor]

Too many false premises to critique in this article.

Too much undigested media propaganda taken at face value. Too much defensiveness and paranoia.

The war in Iraq is the war on terror.

Not because of a direct link from Saddam to al Qaeda, but because the entire Middle East has become a crucible for Islamism (an outgrowth of Saddam's own pan-Arabist Baath thinking).

For the last 30 years, Arab countries have been acting without adult supervision. They've been playing with matches for too long. The predictable result is now upon us.

Iraq is the beginning of the end for Islamist and pan-Arabist utopias.

"But we can also conclude that officials from other nations have been briefed of “the threat” (if any) from our officials. Still, there is not 100% backing for this adventure. This means that other nations feel that even IF the U.S. may be attacked again, they simply don’t care, or aren’t willing to put their own necks on the line to save America."

Mr. Johnson needs to follow the money. We will show him the invoices after we take baghdad.

Looks like J.J. has a touch of Farrakhan in him.

Just another of the repetition of the liberal screed:

1) He does not have WMD

2) If we attack he will use them.

The game is over, comrade. You lose.

They still lack support from the majority of the people – even in the U.S. Why is this?

Hog wash. The latest poll says a majority of americans support President Bush and the war.

[Whilome]

I still don't understand why we're attacking Iraq. Given that of the 19 hijackers of Sept. 11, 2001, fifteen were from Saudi Arabia and zero were from Iraq, wouldn't it make more sense to go to war against Saudi Arabia? Not that I'd be real happy with that either, but at least it would make sense.

[Alas Babylon!]

Here's what let me know this is bull...

The U.S. demonstrated Iraq is manufacturing of weapons of mass destruction. “They have been doing this in violation of UN mandates for years”, Washington says. So what about the other nations? There is Israel and North Korea, to name a few. Both have nuclear weapons. No one dares tell Israel to disarm, and we merely “ask” North Korea. This is called a double standard.

If I had to answer this I would say, "Why yes, there sure is a double standard. This isn't some classroom where everyone has to be treated equal and fairly. We support our friends and fight our enemies as we see fit, that is the way America keeps free and economically prosperous."

JJ goes on to say how Israel is NOT attacking Iraq even though Saddam pays the suicide/homicide bomber's families $25,000 after they commit their crimes. Well, there in itself shows the difference between a terrorist thug state like Iraq with nuclear weapons and Isreal with nuclear weapons. Which one should we trust not to use them?

The whole argument that we shouldn't go after Saddam because there are other bad dictators our WMD-armed nations out there is bogus. It is simply an argument then to do nothing. If you can't tell by now that a Saddamless Iraq isn't going to be good for our country and the rest of the world by now, you never will.

[waxhaw]

I agree completely with J.J. Johnson. And whoever doesn't like it can lump it.

[tet68]

THIS WHOLE FOREIGN MESS IS MAKING NO SENSE. AM I THE ONLY PERSON SEEING THAT??

Yes.

[MinuteGal]

"My reasons for not supporting this war has virtually NOTHING to do with the arguments of the left and other countries"

Really, JJ?

Buh-bye, JJ.
