Re: different situations = different tactics

Perhaps you didn't read careful enough:

from my previous post:

Iraq, which may not be playing the role of suicide bomber is certainly empowering terrorists with money and weapons. The jump to empowering them with WMD is not too far a leap when considering Saddam's past.


Let me flesh it out a little more for you:

Fact A: Iraq is funding terrorism
Fact B: Iraq has been actively working on WMD

The Leap: Iraq will put WMD in the hands of terrorists if allowed to have them.

The conclusion I just leapt to: We cannot let Iraq have WMD. If it requires a preemptory strike, than it does. I really don't know if one is required. That decision I prefer to leave in the hands of the experts who have more info and experience than I. A leap of faith in our defense department and President? Yes, but then we have done that every day for as long as I can remember (even under Clinton btw).
