Had Bush bombed northern Iraq, especially during U.N. negotiations authorizing military action, the U.N., and people like you, would have screamed until blood shot out their ears. Any possibility of U.N. cooperation would have been dead. Of course, as far as France was concerned, it was dead on arrival, but Bush took some time to learn that the hard way.

Administration assurances that a terrorist had been located at these sites would have been treated with the same scorn and derision that you and others like you treat similar statements on the attacks in Fallujah. Hell, I'd bet hard cash that the papers would have been filled with pictures of innocent civilians injured in this "preemptive attack."

Maybe you've forgotten the scorn and disbelief also heaped on Powell by the Left when he declared Zarqawi as a threat before the war.

Why not just be honest for a change and admit that there is absolutely no action which would not be condemned by you, if that action had been taken by Bush?

Just wondering...why no similar indignation for Clinton failing to bring in bin Laden when he was offered?
