I hate to say it but we should have attacked when the we still had support from the rest of the world after 9/11.

If we had concrete evidence of Iraqi WMD we should have put it on the table a long time ago. Apparently we do not have a smoking gun that will satisfy the UN.

Of course Saddam has WMD (and the will to use them) but our intelligence resources appear to have failed us again.

I don't like the way this whole thing is going....

It's a containment thing... the best prospect is that we don't need to ground attack or nuke or invade because of new weaponry.

True, North Korea and Axis of Evil, et. al. may have the smoking guns to tie it all together, but I personally believe the global military community knows we are fixin' to show off some next-gen weapons, in this rodeo, that will demonstrate our commitment.

Agreed. If we don't have solid intelligence, we should not go in. I can understand that we do not want to risk compromising our sources, but if the evidence is so abundant as we are led to believe, we should be able to make a better case than has been made so far. This wouldn't be the first time we have been hoodwinked!
