Right. Clinton and the Demcorats were "all hat and no cattle" .. they reversed the wisdom of TR that said "speak softly and carry a big stick" with bleating loudly then doing nothing.

Not that Bush administration is braying that it is serious, saddam doesnt take the words seriously.

If the US does not act to take out saddam now after making it plain he is unacceptable, it will make our words less serious. that itself is a serious issue to ponder.

Never rattle the saber unless you intend to use it.
