So let me state right now that myself, one Pat Fish, citizen, has read this entire thing and said citizen is hereby totally convinced.

Because as clear as the sun sets in the west no one, not any dolthead liberal, not any collegiate, not any Bush I associates, not any person wearing a tablecloth on their head or soft spoken spinner, and definitely not Tom Daschle, the midget from South Dakota, will tell this citizen anything other than there is absolutely no reason for one Saddamn Hussein to have this stuff.

This is no time for fools and the fools have spoken their piece. They must shut up now. For if anyone beyond perhaps the OJ jury was sitting in judgement of the facts as presented, they could only find guilty ...beyond any reasonable doubt.

The midget from South Dakota will have to look this citizen in the eye and tell her just why Saddamn needs mustard gas by the tons. Mustard gas, Mr. Daschle. There is no need for this and if anyone should try to tell me that one very unstable and dangerous man on this entire earth should have this kind of stockpiled....well I might sell that person a nice Brooklyn Bridge.

It's time for the idiots to step aside. Send them all to one happy place...send them all to South Dakota. They can argue and debate and primp their brains and have a grand old time. They can jump up on Mount Rushmore and show us their very open minds and pump their pretty prose. If Jimmy Carter's up there, push him off.

Because THIS citizen ain't buying it I don't care what they say. This planet earth does not need one worthless Saddamn possessing all of these biological weapons. There is nothing anyone could possibly tell me that would justify this.

You peaceniks all go to South Dakota with the midget. There's real work to be done here. Let the real men get on with it.

You of course realize that Scott Ritter would disagree with practically all of this...

Don't you mean Scott al-Ritar?

Yeah, Steve has a sense of humor and puts things in perspective. Does he still do the "Sunday Spin"? That was the best part of his weekend show -- he'd tape all the Sunday shows and cut all the good parts into soundbites and deconstruct it all.

I have never liked the Crossfire-type conservative-vs.-liberal setup that WABC seems so fond of. I didn't mind Malzberg and Bey, but only when they talked about cultural or lighthearted stuff. And you're right about Malzberg's guests -- quite unusual. He was the first to have on John Batchelor and then Paul Alexander. They were really good talking about inside-the-beltway stuff. I'm disappointed to see Steve doesn't have a weekday solo show.

As long as Da$shole has an congressional bunker to hide in, he could give a rats ass about the rest of the country. Im ashamed my neighbors to the north could elect such a prick.

When Russia, China and France are against something, then you better be for it. China is our enemy, Russia can't be trusted (though they have so many internal problems they are weak now) and France hates America, though they are so wimpy they won't get involved in anything. The point is, when these three agree on something, which is all the time, then do the opposite.

In the US, former president Bill Clinton led fresh demands for any action to topple Saddam to be delayed until Osama bin Laden is caught.

Hey Xlinton, OBL is caught......under a gazillion tonnes of rock

Clintons statement has nothing do with actually capturing OBL. His intent is purely political. If President Bush goes at Iraq, defeats Saddam and liberates the people of Iraq the political windfall will be unbeatable at the polls in 04.

The ex-liar in chief is only interested in how his henchmen & Hitlary can take over the White House to use as an Rico Act gone wild for personal profit.

I can't decide whether I want Saddam in prison, or dead.

Dead is the only choice. Put him in prison and he'll run his operation from there. A thief may be rehabilitated. A criminally insane dictator cannot.

Thanks for the post--that was a lot of formatting.

It seems they missed a couple of things--probably because it would screw up the official position that there is no link to Hussein and the anthrax.

From reply 366 by Wallaby here in article titled DEFECTOR CLAIMS IRAQ-BIN LADEN TIES

A high-ranking defector who served for 16 years in an Iraqi intelligence agency said on 2 November that the Baghdad regime has controlled and funded Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network since 1998. He was briefing members of the Iraq National Congress (INC) in London, according to Melbourne's "The Sunday Herald Sun" on 4 November. He claimed that the funding for Al-Qaeda came from illegal oil exports channeled through Dubai in the Persian Gulf. An INC activist said "he has first-hand information about the link between Saddam and bin Laden because he also worked as a money-launderer and sanctions- buster for the Iraqi leader." The defector's name was withheld for the sake of his personal security, but London-based sources say he has been living "in one of the Scandinavian countries." An INC activist continued to say "this is the third time a reliable Iraqi informant has come forward with disclosures about how Iraq has been in control of Al-Qaeda for the last three years." AFP reported on 3 November that "La Reppublica" of Italy had also reported on the defector's testimony before the INC. Here, the former officer is identified as "A.S." Among his claims is that Iraq had sent a ton of anthrax to bin Laden. He also said that members of bin Laden's terror network have been trained in Salman Pak in Iraq. (David Nissman)

They also missed this article at Newsmax: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/8/16/160324.shtml. Excerpt:

Reports that Osama bin Laden was able to buy anthrax from a factory in the Czech Republic add further legitimacy to suspicions of a foreign bioterror tie. Iraq's intelligence service is in charge of Iraq's anthrax program.

If Hussein paid for/authorized the shipment to bin Laden, both reports could be true.

I also suspect that he could be much further along in his nuclear program than we are led to believe. If Hussein has been controlling bin Laden and the reports of the former Pakistani head of their nuclear program being a radical who visited al-Qaeda frequently are true, then it's entirely possible that a man who felt betrayed by Musharraf siding with the West would have given Hussein the keys he needs.

Really?

You've heard of those modern marvels called container ships and oil tankers haven't you?

Delivered directly to any port USA…

I really hate it when people make such ignorant claims.
