"Dodd said he backs the president's position on Iraq, as did the committee's ranking member Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., who offered the administration one of the strongest expressions of support but nonetheless chastised the administration for calling potential military action "pre-emptive."

They just keep wanting to have it both ways. They strongly support Bush's stand, but want to chastise Bush. They say there is no proof that Saddam has WMDs, but they strongly support Bush's position, but they want to chastise him. My head is spinning. Do they think the American public doesn't have them pegged?

Clearly, Biden said, Saddam is violating the original Gulf War cease-fire agreement.

"When you talk about this, do not further confuse the devil out of the rest of the world and make us sound like a bunch of cowboys that we are going to be out there pre-emptively imposing our view. This is an enforcement of a binding international legal commitment that a man made to save his skin and stay in power," Biden said.

Geez, what is this world coming to? I actually agree with Biden here. Our government should not be using the term "pre-emptive" regarding Iraq. Any action will be in response to Iraq's constant violations of resolutions/agreements.
