The military has been ready to go for one month

Hmmm. Let's see - a month ago we were still waiting for Turkey to decide if we could use bases there for a northern front, and many units were still waiting for their heavy equipment to arrive. Maybe you were getting your news from a different source than I was.

It's past the time freepers started calling for a real conservative replacement candidate for 2004!

Ahhh ... now it all becomes clear. Making political points over the execution of the buildup for a war, and doing it by distorting the facts. Some conservative you are.

That's right groupie, I'm a conservative who actually reads and knows the facts. Go back thru archives and find plenty of comments by Rumsfield, Franks and Meyers (they just might know something about the subject) that the military was ready to do whatever the president asked a month ago.

You will also find them saying that having access thru Turkey was preferrable, but they had contingency plans in case that fell thru.

And how do you explain away Bush issuing a Mar 17 deadline with there still no Turkey approval, Mr real conservative, smart guy?

Stop being such a lemming!
