Re: Uh-huh . . .

<Wrong!
With 8 million Muslims in our country, do we need to piss them off so they'll organize?
How many Ahkmeds are working in chemical plants, water plants, or at gun shows?


Comes across as racist as hell.

What that clearly states is that Muslims simply cannot be trusted with anything, and I have to disagree with you, Lindy. Strongly. I say we have 8 million Muslims in this country, the majority of which are American citizens. There will be the misfits, as with any collective across this nation and around this world, but I say, by and large, the Muslims of this nation (at least the ones I know) actually appreciate their freedoms, pretty much as I do.

Take it from there.

So, Hussein is working on a WMD.
There's plenty of that going on everywhere else.
Without an ICBM, should WE have to worry?
So, who do you suppose will be his first target?
What if we sit back and wait, and nail him only after say....a first strike?


Now it’s anti-Israel, because Israel would likely be his first WMD-target. The country is in range, and is considered home to a large population of U.S. citizens.

Then again, maybe he’ll be too scared for the direct assault and hit Turkey -- and who really cares about Turkey. Most Americans couldn’t even find it on the map, let alone be able to point out it’s more than just a juicy bird.

And, again, that he has WMD is not the issue (glad you agree he is, btw). The issue is disarmament of a hostile nation, one operating without reluctance to use said WMD. Iraq still holds her sights on Kuwait as an oil rich, militarily weak target -- but, no... That can’t be! Only Bush is interested in oil fields.

Study your history, then take it from there.

Pretty tough decision. If George W. had kept his mouth shut, and not used his war "rhetoric", we might have been able to neutralize Hussein's weapons plants with "precision strikes".
A lot less messy..........and a MUCH BETTER sound bite.


Really? Simply attack without warning? Bloodthirsty little vixen, aren’t you?
;^)

I like it, but politics say give him the benefit of doubt and offer a period for compliance. Hussein was given his period, and his reply is childish rhetoric regarding U.S. supporters placed in his country as spies, under the guise of U.N. Inspectors, while he continues to build up his arsenals.

Take it from there.

What I expect to get messy, would be a threat to US from say.....Russia, if we went in to bomb Iraq? How THEN would we handle that?
Huh? C'mon all you blossoming minds...........show me your stuff!


I suppose we could tell them to just sit back and let the big boys handle another of their little messes.

Take it from there.
