Thank-you. This explained things a little better.

It is astonishing that the depostic democrats don't get the point of blackmail since they are already folding to stealth blackmail and the Insane one doesn't even have a nuke yet! Yeah, play the democrat's postponeNIK game and see if Saddam acts in good faith. [Would someone please slap Bonior in that socialist mouth of his, and remind that IDIOT that Saddam build billions of dollars in 'palaces' while his children in Iraq went under nourished? Would someone explain to that freak, Bonior, that the best chance those Iraqi children have of being fed adequately is for US to crush that bastard in Iraq and set up representative government there? I'm sick and tired of the postponeNIKS of the despotic criminal enterprise democrat party lying and appeasing, putting US in ever growing danger!]

You know if we just let Hitler take Poland, he may not try to take over the rest of Europe.

NOBODY let Hitler take Poland - Hitler took half of Poland without permission. Only that he was helped by Soviet Union - the power which later defeated him in the end. Saddam Hussein is not another second Hitler. At most he could be a second Ataturk if allowed to succeed.

[Always Right]

Saddam Hussein is not another second Hitler.

If Saddam ever gets nukes he could match Hitlers death toll in a day.

[The Great Satan]

Note that Tenet is singing the same tune as his ex-boss, Clinton: Saddam is innocent, but he'll use al-Qaeda to hit America with biological weapons if you go after him. Put it another way: What people don't know won't hurt them. Let sleeping dogs lie. 9-11 is water under the bridge now. Why dredge up this bad business? Keep your trap shut, because if you expose us, you're going to regret it.

[The Great Satan]

Tenet, in a letter read before a joint hearing of the House and Senate intelligence committees Tuesday, said that "Baghdad for now appears to be drawing a line short of conducting terrorist attacks with conventional or chemical or biological weapons."

Really? Then who sent this letter, which held a sample of anthrax "ground to a microscopic fineness not achieved by U.S. biological-weapons experts"?

[palmer]

Saddam build billions of dollars in 'palaces' while his children in Iraq went under nourished?

And we are supposed to care about this?

folding to stealth blackmail

We folded in Eastern Europe in the Cold War and we will fold to some Islamic nuclear state before long. In a sense we have already folded to Pakistan.

Great find!

It gets greater. Before Nix went to sleep we looked a little at the Fatemi connection.

Seems there is a whole Fatemi branch of the Byrdies. So this old KKK kingpin has a two-generation Arab side to the family tree :).

Mohammad Fatemi is into oil. His sons seems well connected in the military establishment. Just an example from Fredrik Fatemi's background:

Laser systems : Nd:YAG, excimer, and tunable OPO pulsed laser systems

He seems to have done a stint at Naval Research Laboratory.

Much more here.

[Lawdoc]

Don't wish Daschle on us. We already have enough problems here in the Mountain State.

You obviously have a problem with the president's "liberty doctrine", or you would not be able to make this type of comment.. I'm not going to argue with you on this thread about it, or even educate you about it here, but you may wish to educate yourself. I suggest you start by going over to whitehouse.gov and looking up the president's speech at West Point in early June, then checking out the new National Strategic Policy. Whether you like it or not, we have no other rational choice in how we fight this war, or who we fight against.

[AFPhys]

You're exactly right!... the demodogs worst fear is pushing this issue right up into the election. I think it is actually too late for them now, though. I have actually refrained from calling my representatives in hopes the demodogs will reveal themselves to the voters.

If Saddam ever gets nukes he could match Hitlers death toll in a day.

Many, many ifs. But for certain he has a lot of oil!

[joyful1]

If Byrd were a Republican, each reference would include the discripter "former Ku-Klux-Klan Knight, Robert Byrd."

Each time Byrd's name is mentioned, in print or speech, the truth about his KKK connection must be revealed!

[joyful1]

Grand Wizard Byrd should be drug out of Washington behind an oil-spraying pavement truck flanked by floats of cherubs sprinkling him with feathers.

I'd vote for you, PhilDragoo!

[A. Pole]

Saddam build billions of dollars in 'palaces' while his children in Iraq went under nourished?

They are not exactly his personal residences - they are the government buildings - otherwise they would not be of interest for weapons instructors (in Iraq every second thing is "presidential"). It is not sure that they cost "billions" and who gives a hoot about starving children? Certainly not Madeleine Albright: "We Think the Price Is Worth It"

Either way, you are not proposing the war because of high price of government buildings?

[joyful1]

WOWWWW!!!

Erma and I are the proud great-grandparents of little Caroline Byrd Fatemi. I married the former Erma Ora James, my high school sweetheart and a coal miner's daughter, and we are the parents of two daughters, Mrs. Mohammad (Mona Byrd) Fatemi and Mrs. Jon (Marjorie Byrd) Moore

SHAZAAAAMMM!! I honestly didn't know Byrd's son-in-law's name is Mohammad! Is this real???!! What?

[Always Right]

Many, many ifs. But for certain he has a lot of oil!

If we want oil, why didn't we take it. We could have owned the middle east on numerous occassions and all their oil if that was our objective. I have never once heard a rationale arguement about oil. Just a bunch of mindless liberals spouting its all about the oil, but none of them know why except for some wild ass conspiracy theory that makes obsolutely no sense.

[A. Pole]

I have never once heard a rational argument about oil.

Hmm, really? Maybe it is because you did not listen, Mr Always Right? Please, I mean no offence, but I cannot resist a good pun :)

[joyful1]

I just contacted FOX news about this Byrd/Muslim connection. It is fair to ask, is Byrd sympathetic to radical Islam???

This is from the Byrd webpage!!: Erma and I are the proud great-grandparents of little Caroline Byrd Fatemi. I married the former Erma Ora James, my high school sweetheart and a coal miner's daughter, and we are the parents of two daughters, Mrs. Mohammad (Mona Byrd) Fatemi and Mrs. Jon (Marjorie Byrd) Moore

From the Byrd webpage?? Is he sypathetic to radical Islam???
