One wonders what Clinton, or Gore, would have done after 9/11. From an alternate universe... AP--3/15/03.
President Gore announced today that Special Envoy George Mitchell would leave Monday for Islamabad where he will hold his 48th meeting with the Afghan Foreign Minister. "We have made good progress in our negotiations with the Afghan government on our request to extradite Osama Bin Laden, and will continue to exhaust all diplomatic means of resolving the crisis", Gore said. When asked if he was considering using force if this round of negotiations with the Taliban should fail, the President said, "Of course all options are on the table. Our patience is not unlimited."
Gore also said he plans on presenting the Kyoto Treaty to the Senate for approval next week. "Global warming is still the most serious threat facing America and mankind".

Your 'thinking' is not based in fact. Powell and Rumsy are *FAR* from aiming towards the same goal. Powell is *ALL* about world government. Moreso than American security...heck, the two don't even TALK to each other!

"The UN is hereby and forthwith totally irrelevant."I sure hope you are correct. I have a hard time trusting the spinners, and their ignorant followers, though.

Think we will fight Turks? Haven't they been told not to interfere? It should be made clear to both sides to STAY PUT or be in big trouble.

<< No more pep rallies, no more self delusions. We are Republicans and thus realists. The Bush administrations diplomatic efforts on gaining U.N. support (i.e. a U.N. fig leaf for war) have been a failure. That's what Bush gets for listening to a socialist scum like Blair who [Epitomises] ruined England, helped ruin the Balkans and now has ruined us. >>
Funny you should notice all of that.
I've been saying it all -- often in the face of concerted flaming of FR's resident predatory purveyer of pornography and the organized howls of his dissent-creating activist pack -- for more than a year.
One thing, though, we are not ruined. Our Beloved FRaternal Republic is not, Our Armed Forces are not, Our Party is not -- and Our Nation's President and Armed Forces Commander In Chief, George Walker Bush, is not!
But the scurrilousness, deception and duplicity of the KKKli'toon-cloned, owned, operated and controlled "leader" of the emasculated, feminized, homosexualized, squalidly-socialist shower that peoples the Belgium-based Neo-Soviet's satellite state -- also known as once-great Britain -- is revealed: -- both for all the world to see -- and; -- to incite, enrage and encourage his own kind -- the hyenas of his own party and of the larger British community -- to turn on him and devour him.
ADios, Phony Tony.

I've not been a Tony Blair fan before the last 18 months or so. I don't think we would agree on a lot of things, otherwise. However, I commend him on his stand on the War on Terror.
Tony Blair has taken BIG heat in the UK for his staunch support of the U.S. in the War on Terror, especially on the latest rounds regarding the imminent Iraq War. He has remained resolute against the greatest political pressure imaginable. Even some in his own group have criticized him. His leadership in the Imminent Iraq War is to be lauded as a principled stand, imho . . .
Tony Blair: The price of my conviction
Excerpt:But there are also consequences of 'stop the war'. There will be no march for the victims of Saddam, no protests about the thousands of children that die needlessly every year under his rule, no righteous anger over the torture chambers which if he is left in power, will remain in being.
I rejoice that we live in a country where peaceful protest is a natural part of our democratic process. But I ask the marchers to understand this.
I do not seek unpopularity as a badge of honour. But sometimes it is the price of leadership and the cost of conviction.
If there are 500,000 on the [Stop the War] march, that is still less than the number of people whose deaths Saddam has been responsible for. If there are one million, that is still less than the number of people who died in the wars he started.
So if the result of peace is Saddam staying in power, not disarmed, then I tell you there are consequences paid in blood for that decision too. But these victims will never be seen, never feature on our TV screens or inspire millions to take to the streets. But they will exist none the less.

"Bushs real mistake was in listening to Colin Powell and the state department"
I am glad that GW has men around him with differing views, and listens to them all before making his final judgement. All smart and successful presidents have done this. I do not think going to the UN will end up being a bad thing at the end of the day. I disagree with the writer that this has been a failed diplomacy attempt by the UK and USA. France, Germany, and most importantly, the UN, are the ones that stand to lose respect around the world.

Hi there! I haven't heard anything about thoseships in a while. My assumption is that it was either a rumor, or that the ships have been located and are being tracked. In the latter case, I will assume that they will be either boarded or sunk once hostilities commence.
To: MeeknMing; Destro; JohnHuang2
You and I and few others -- I observe and am pleased and proud to say -- seem to operate from the same core beliefs and fundamental honesty and are in agreement on pretty much all of the issues that matter.
But, while I will agree that Blair has -- in the context of his relationship with Our Beloved FRaternal Republic and with President Bush -- appeared to be saying all of the "right" things, it has been clear also that he has been saying other "right" things to the many "wrong" and Evil groups with whom he is more at home -- and with whom he "needs" KKKli'ton-like, to retain his "political viability."
These include but are not limited to: the UN; the EU, the British Labour Party and even the Sin Fein/IRA. [Whose bank-robbing and drug and gun-running mass-murderers Blair still cravenly and shamelessly appeases]
And -- at the potential cost of the lives of more brave Americans, Australians, [Who already, with their New Zealand/ANZAC comrades, know a little about the mortal danger of having the bloody British at their rear!] Israelis and Iraqis than I would care to predict -- when it came right down to the crunch the Clinton-cloned Blair's devious duplicity has come home to rest and he has proved his own and the British Nation's real, 2003, worth. Just as, more than one year ago, I predicted that he and it would.
Best ones -- Brian

He will commit his military to fight the war against Saddam, the same as President Bush.
I'm not familiar with the cronies and company that Blair keeps so I can't address that. But he seems to me to be taking a principled stand on the war. Wouldn't it be so much easier for him to succumb to the pressure from those in his political realm? Why would he risk his political life for such an antipodal and unpopular stance? That's not how clintoon did things (take a poll, lick finger and test which way the political wind was blowing). Not for the fun of it, I'm sure. Or maybe I'm just a little naive . . .

the diplomatic events of the past week will go down in history as the most embarassing for the United States and Britain in a long time.How is the churlish behavior of France and Germany embarrassing for the US and UK? It seems more like a diplomatic victory to me, since the UN has proven itself to be totally ineffective.
