AIRBORNE...HOOOOOAAAHHHH!!!!
And W is the man of his word.
He says what he means. And he will do it!
Because Saddam has presented a credible threat to kill millions of Americans if we take him out, and we are currently defenceless against it.
THIS IS NEXTThe strategy Bush is going to take will be subtler than an invasion. Wait and see. All will be revealed quite soon.
WE HAVE THIS ANTHRAX
YOU CAN NOT STOP US
ARE YOU AFRAID?
1. Syria/Hizbolla/Iraq/Iran attacking Israel first in order to preempt our attack.
2. Iraq decides to strike first using WMD on Israel or US forces in the region. Suicide. Opens the door for US use of ICBMs.
3. China decides to go after Taiwan, drawing us into the Asian theater instead.
Most likely scenario is that the US will attack Iraq right after the elections - method undecided - while China decides whether or not the US is extended sufficiently to attack Taiwan. This balancing act will require our leaders to use either a level of force unseen since WWII, or use as few naval and ground forces as possible on Iraq, so that they can keep an eye on China. Should we use the majority of our air assets, there is the distinct possiblity that we could roll up Iraq rather quickly, allowing follow on targets of either Iran or Saudi Arabia to be assimilated almost simultaneously. This form of blitzkrieg would stop China's ambitions due to their loss of oil as well as putting our military on their western border. This would keep them on the mainland. But it would also make them look a lot more closely at eastern Russia which is resource rich and almost undefended.
I know that China has been left out of the public leaking of invasion scenarios, but they are definitely part of the decision making process - another sign that the adults are back in charge at the White House. Maybe there's a lot more to the friendship between our President and President Putin than anyone knows - maybe they've set a trap for the Chinese. I hope.
1) Should we attack when the time is ripest irrespective of the elections?
2) Since most people are expecting us to avoid a pre-election attack, might that not make a pre-election attack good?
Would it take more than an aircraft carrier to defend Taiwan?
What are the odds of this?
Are you just trying to cheer me up?
Why not? Iran is part of the Axis of Evil. 15 of 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.

No because it's the truth. It's going to be the end of islamic terrorism.
You're hanging with the wrong crowd?
