WHATEVER Saddam may have, in violation of his agreement that ended the LiveEx in '91, unless it can be shown beyond Dubya's rhetoric that he was involved in 9/11, is irrelevant to the war on TERRORISM. So far, we have nothing linking him to 9/11 except words from Dubya and Powell... and on the strength of that, they want us to waste time and lives hitting the wrong target. I am as anxious as anyone to see terrorist bodies lying in the streets... however, I would strongly prefer they be the RIGHT ONES... and not manufactured as targets of convenience. Do you suppose that would be acceptable to the war at any price crowd?

. . . is already grounds for invasion by the cease fire agreement ending the first Gulf War.

What about Powell's rhetoric? Your bar for proof seems to be moving.

that he was involved in 9/11, is irrelevant to the war on TERRORISM.

Well, we have actual checks from Saddam to families of Palestinian suicide bombers. Sounds like terrorism to me.

OK, so Powell isn't enough. How about Blair?

and on the strength of that, they want us to waste time and lives hitting the wrong target.

Let me grant, for the moment, that you are correct. In that case, the "right" target will be properly discouraged from acting up.

Do you have any idea what, for example, Uday has done to Iraqi athletes? Check out ESPN.com. I won't bother linking, I've wasted too much time on this reply already. But that is pretty much terror.

Do you suppose that would be acceptable to the war at any price crowd?

Something tells me they don't care one lick about how convincing you find the evidence to be.
