Stereotyping?
Buster — (archived)

Sorry if the anti-war rhetoric all runs together, but the common refrain froom the anti-war crowd seems to be we should have gotten UN approval (unlikely IMO primarily due to the French) and that we did not have a fair basis for attack. You were addressing the only the latter and I replied to the former in somewhat of a stereotyping off-target response. Was I misstaken that you have previously argued for UN approval? My apologies if I erred.

As far as WMD goes Bill Clinton and other members of his administration have defended the belief that Saddam had WMD prior to the war. You may claim that means we weren't dligent enough. My other point was there is a potential price to pay for over diligence and we paid it once already. Your point also assumes that the weapons were not destroyed during the prewar build-up as invasion looked likely and that the weapons are not hidden. Both are still possibilities although they look less likely as time goes on.

see ya
