I am a little suprised that this hasn't been brought up yet.
Does this affect the negative oppinion about this conflict now that the UN Security council has unanimously approved it?
I am happy that the Un was able to agree to force Sadam to co-operate.
I look forward to hearing some feed-back
Regards,
Barry |

Saddam will agree, wholeheartedly, to the UN Resolution.

I predict that Saddam will show the inspectors WMD that he "forgot" about before. He will destroy them in front of the inspectors. But he will not show them ALL of his WMD. Remember he says that he has NO WMD. So, if he puts a few out where they can be easily "found", the inspectors will be happy because they have justified their own existance. The "world" will be happy because they think this eliminates war. And Saddam will be happy because he still has the WMD which he hid so well. IMHO.

Yes, it is a shocking - shocking! - development that, just three days after the Republicans gained control of all three branches of government, the Security Council has unanimously approved a resolution that would send U.N. inspectors back into Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
According to the New York Times, "a breakthrough in negotiations came Thursday when France and the United States reached a critical agreement to address French concerns that the resolution could automatically trigger an attack on Iraq."
Doubtless there was no connection between this sudden deal and the midterm elections ? after all, no one has ever accused the French of holding a finger up to see which way the wind is blowing, and certainly not when grave matters of global security are on the table. No doubt the sudden willingness of the previously recalcitrant Russians and Syrians to join their voices to the chorus was likewise prompted by the most high-minded of motives. |

BTW, I loved this quote from USA Today:
"The president made clear that war could be the outcome if Saddam Hussein does not comply, even if other countries oppose a conflict. 'This will be the 17th time that we expect Saddam to disarm,' Bush said Thursday. 'This time we mean it.'" |

Careful guys, gloating like that makes you appear mean-spirited.  |

Look, if I give the alternate view I am seen as anti-American and all sorts of things, but hold on a minute, which other country has to prove it's not intending to use WMD? North Korea?
Why doesn't America get back to hunting Al-Quaida? What about the Bali bomb, is there any proof that Iraq is behind all this? Don't you think that if there were the US would have paraded it before now?
IMO it's Dubya trying to show he's doing something about terrorism, without actually getting to the root of it

Hey, as far as I'm concerned, this is a no-gloat zone. Although, there is much to gloat about.  |

One thing at a time, Sue. One thing at a time. Even superpowers have to choose their timing.
Why doesn't America get back to hunting Al-Quaida?
We never left the hunt.
What about the Bali bomb, is there any proof that Iraq is behind all this? Don't you think that if there were the US would have paraded it before now?
So if Iraq wasn't behind the Bali bomb, they are as pure and harmless as the wind-driven snow?
IMO it's Dubya trying to show he's doing something about terrorism, without actually getting to the root of it.
Oh, well. Tha't YOUR opinion...[/i] |

If I remember right, this is a War on Terrorism, not just a War on al Queda. There are plenty of cruise missiles to go around, fear not!

Please, don't tell me it's not worth it, because I already know that it's not. *sigh* I don't know why I waste my time, spending hour after hour, informing myself of the issues, when I know that anyone can come 'round, say that I'm wrong, and have it readily and eagerly accepted.
I do this so that at least I know in my own heart that I'm right, and as long as I know that, then it's worth it to me, and me alone.
Anyone have an extra Dr. Pepper lying around? I could really use one right now.

I bet Paul is about ready to kill me. I sent him a PM yesterday with a bunch of suggestions, including one for a suggestion box, just so I can abuse it. *laugh* I miss the old board too, but I wouldn't trade this signature thing for it.
