[Eccl 10:2]

"We've had a plan for military action against Iraq for decades. Here's a news flash...we also have one for North Korea, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Cuba..."

Zactly. I had a brother-in-law in intelligence, and I saw him the week after we liberated Grenada. I jokingly asked him who we planned to invade next.

He looked at me steely-eyed and replied, "We have plans to invade EVERYbody."

America certainly has thousands upon thousands of contingency plans, it makes sense that the President was interested in the ones most likely to be necessary.

there was a conviction that Saddam Hussein was a bad person

I am rather glad that they had this conviction. As a matter of fact, is this a 'conviction' that you disagree with, Mr. O'Neill? Did you think he was just swell and enjoyed knowing he was killing, raping, maiming innocent people on a daily basis?

I really hate how people use innuendo like that...implying that what their opinion (aka 'conviction') of saddam was wrong and they were somehow extremists for recognizing reality.

It wouldn't surprise me none the least if we had a nuclear strike package and invasion plans for targeting the Vatican.
