U.S. and British officials are circulating a proposal at the U.N. Security Council to end the U.N. inspectors' search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The proposal has already been the subject of staff meetings and officials have told The New York Times that permanent members of the Security Council seem ready to go along with the proposal to "terminate immediately the mandates" of the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission.

Iran has already promised to share its nuclear technologies with Syria, Sudan and others. Iran is also the source of most of the support to terrorists in other countries.

Compare the situation with a scenario that people with no prior combat training service can relate to. Tom is being attacked by two bullies in the schoolyard—one larger, stronger bully, and one smaller, weaker bully. Should Tom counterattack against the stronger bully first, or the weaker one?

Dubya looked Putin in the eye and got a sense of his soul, there’s no way Putin did anything bad. < /s>

“I’m pretty sure Bush has wised up by now.”

Why? What gives you that impression?

Well, maybe Saddam didn’t have large stockpiles of WMD but what about “Break Out Capability” which is mentioned all the time in ISG Report.

Everyone seems to ignore that in the media which is more insidious in my opinion. Remember the Clinton chasing after the Dual Use Items with the UN inspectors?

We had no UN inspectors after Operation Desert Fox in 1998.

UN experts theorized Saddam restructured his CBW program so he wouldn’t have stockpiles. They modeled their program after the Japanese “Just In Time” manufacturing.

Instead of making Toyotas they made CBW.

Since we didn’t find the LARGE Stockpiles Senator Levin is saying we didn’t find the WMDs. And the public is buying it.
People don’t realize how insidious this is!

Liberals are playing political football over “We couldn’t find Large Stockpiles” to discredit the Bush Administration and its making me mad.

Democrats couldn’t give a damn about my family and what is good for our country. They’re only concerned about getting the White House back and continue Clinton’s legacy of incompetence. It was liberal policies that allowed Saddam to get away with his deceit, obstruction and intimidation.

Interesting Articles.

They actually showed satellite footage on Fox news of trucks heading to Syria. Talk about cognitive dissonance!

Why don’t they show those satellite footage again?
People need to be reminded.
