NO MORE WMD’s FOR OIL

23) "War will cost billions!"

I don't see it. People in the military get paid their salaries and given food, housing, supplies, etc whether they are in Iraq or Korea or Texas. Mile for mile, it costs no more to sail a ship through the Persian Gulf than it does in the open Pacific. Mile for mile, it costs no more to fly a plane over Iraq than over California. Munitions cost the same whether they're used in a war or a firing range.

The only extra monetary costs I can see of any significance coming out of a war would be healthcare for those who get wounded and to replace the plane or two that get shot down. But compared to the overall federal budget, that's pocket change.

BUMP

The man did not care to resolve the mess. The pestering attacks went unanswered.

Clinton focused "national security" on a mythical boogeyman tied in with right wing extremists who "sought to bring down the American government". His proof of this was Oklahoma City, fueled by his chief critics in "conservative talk radio". He successfully spun that rhetoric to re-election when it looked like he was doomed to be a single term president.

The NOW bunch endorses murder, rape and torture!

[Aeronaut]

The NOW bunch endorses murder, rape and torture! in Iraq. They not only endorse but worship mass murder in this country, too.

[weegee]

NOW defended a powerful and prominent rapist and sexual harasser as well. Even Bubba does not deny the rape charge these days (he defers to his lawyer's statement on the matter).

Your right.

He did turn everything into an anti-gun lets chase the WASP boogieman issue after his medical reform, social security reform, 100,000 more teachers program failed.

The sad thing is that things such as Waco and Ruby Ridge were self-induced by an ATF/FBI/Government on the hunt for this Boogieman.

3) “Tough inspections can disarm Saddam Hussein without our having to invade Iraq.”

You almost got it right. The correct answer is: And we're going to send 250,00 in real soon!

Like in Kosovo?

That was Bill Clinton's Amerika coming to the defense of righteous Muslims.

[M Kehoe]

Well, to some degree it is pre-emptive since we are not responding directly to an attack.

Those British and American pilots who are shot at every day might disagree with you. And when it is established beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hussein had culpability in BOTH Trade Center attacks, then I say he fired the first shot long time ago.

Hussein resumed the war when he violated the 1991 peace treaty/UN resolution to end his weapons development. Here we are now with 18 resolutions which shows no effort on Saddam's behalf to comply. The inspections are not working (notice how the inspectors had been kicked out and only recently permitted to return under the threat of impending war).

Saddam broke the peace. The war is here whether we choose to fight it.

We did not have authorization from our "friends" to march into Bagdad and apprehend/eliminate Saddam Hussein in 1991. Fighting a war by international committee requires us to tie one hand behind our backs. Saddam Hussein on the other hand is an outlaw and isn't playing by the rules to begin with.

Only now are some leaders speaking out at Saddam (Fidel Castro reportedly made a statement, "Saddam, destroy your weapons."). The focus seems to be on the US ("Don't go to war") and not Saddam ("Comply with the UN").
