THE US, THE UN AND THE IRAQIS THEMSELVES, V. 7.0

And your and your neighboring governments don't.

Yes, none of us here in the states are really afraid of another 911 happening to us personally. We want that damn oil whether we survive to enjoy it or not.

Maybe, just maybe, it is all those who think like you do who are the dimwits.

This of course is just opinion, but it is my opinion Blix, seeking to ensure and prolong his perq-filled moment in the spotlight, had an agenda other than that spelled out in the charter given him by The UN. In no way would he serve that agenda should he in fact unequivocably validate either the US or the Iraqi position, hence, he persisted in equivocation.

With the destruction of the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam in Iraq, the United States has removed two Fascist regimes that were directly hostile to the United States.

In doing so, Iran, another hostile state, is now surrounded by nations that do not share its views of hegemony by terrorism; that do not share its views of Islam - Wilayat Al-Faqih, Rule by the Jurist, a new Shia cult invented by Khomeini in 1964 while he lived in Najaf, which is in Iraq; and who do not share Iran's views of the desirability of acquiring nuclear weapons.
Likewise, Syria (and its client state Lebanon) is now surrounded by nations that are inimicable to its interests.
Which is why Syria is sending its Sunni Muslims to murder Shia Muslims in Iraq and Iran is sending its Shia Muslims to murder Sunni Muslims in Iraq.
These are lovely people.
Other countries in the world such as France and Russia, opposed and still oppose these actions because they were having oily intercourse with Saddam. They resent their Oil For Fraud money being cut off.

In the meantime, Saudi Arabia now has to deal with the consequences of its own promotion of Islamic terror and fascism. Again, with Iraq on its border, it is also surrounded by nations (with the exception of Yemen) that find its Wahhabi national cult abbhorrent.
The Wahhabis murdered hundreds of thousandsof Shia Muslims in Northern Saudi Arabia and Southern Iraq in the last century.
They destroyed (the current ruling family of Jordan) the Hashemites who controlled Mecca and Medina.
Saudi Arabia has been put "on notice" by its neighbors through the actions of the United States.
Are these imperfect solutions? Of course. What is a better solution?

Islamic Fascist Death Cultists wish to murder me; they wish to murder my family; they wish to murder my community; they wish to murder my nation; and they wish to murder all humanity that might stand against them.
They must be stopped.
President Bush is attempting to stop them in the most intelligent and useful manner possible.
Any better suggestions?

Can't resist..... Must type on keyboard...... Ahhhhhh......

Well, now that we have established that everybody and his mother (and the horse you rode in on too) believed that Saddam was a danger and did indeed possess WMD's, let's bring over from the other thread the argument that
Even so, we should be off chasing the putrefying body of Osama bin Laden crushed between the rocks of Tora Bora, instead of destabilizing Iraq.
Uhhh... No.

Neither can be proven but it's coming closer and closer in proving Blix was right and Bush Inc. was not.

Your post makes less sense and has less context than this short story:

Sarah opened the door to the oven, and slid the cookie sheet onto the upper rack. Slowly, she reached for the temperature knob, and paused.

She stared at the knob for a few seconds, withdrew her hand, and yelled, "MOM!"

Her mother came running to the kitchen, her bathrobe hanging open, curlers dangling from her unkempt hair. "Yes Sarah, what is it?" she asked.

Sarah frowned sheepishly. "I forgot what temperature to bake chocolate chip cookies at," Sarah said.

"Oh honey," said her mother, "Even jocks know what temperature to bake chocolate chip cookies at."

Sarah's mother laughed and laughed, bathrobe akimbo.

Except for the fact that Hans Blix asserted Iraq was fully co-operating in November effectively negates your argument.

Well I'm certainly concerned about an attack in London. I never suggested these Muslim fanatics aren't real and dangerous...again don't distort what I said.

A possibility, but unlikely.

The entire phony Iraq crisis weapons of mass destruction, germ labs, dire threats to America were all concocted by neocons as part of their long-term campaign to push America into a Mideast war to destroy Israel's enemies. That, and the lust to control oil, were the two driving forces behind the war

FAHRENHEIT 9/11:
LIAR, LIAR, YOUR PANTS ARE ON FIRE!
Copyright: Eric S. Margolis, 2004
5 July 2004

NEW YORK - Michael Moore's blockbuster hit, `Fahrenheit 9/11,' may not be an epochal political film, like `Battelship Potempkin,' or `The Battle of Algiers,' but it certainly ranks as the most exciting and searing American political movie since the superb, eerily prophetic `Wag the Dog.'

In fact, `Wag the Dog' and `Fahrenheit' make perfect bookends encompassing the fraud, dishonesty, and Orwellian manipulation of George W. Bush's failed presidency. Moore keeps turning over Washington rocks, exposing with furious intensity a squirming, slithering underside of deceit and illicit dealings that will outrage thoughtful, educated viewers. Some of the accusations he makes are dead on target; others, questionable, at best.

Clinton and Gore didn't go and kill over 10,000 innocent Iraqi's on false information.

Kagan, for example, willingly embraces the idea that the United States would establish permanent military bases in a post-war Iraq.

"I think that's highly possible," he says. "We will probably need a major concentration of forces in the Middle East over a long period of time. That will come at a price, but think of the price of not having it. When we have economic problems, it's been caused by disruptions in our oil supply. If we have a force in Iraq, there will be no disruption in oil supplies."

I gotta say I don't happen to think either side of the debate is championed by dimwits to exclusion of other wits.

And it is my opinion that the United States has embarked on a programme of adjusting the world order to suit itself. Its doing this because it must do so, specifically because oil is peaking, and secondly because it can; there being no countervailing power to stop it.

It is my opinion that Bush came into office with a plan to attack Iraq. It is also my opinion that 911 is being exploited by the American regime as justification (in the guise of the so called war on terror) for military action wherever and whenever it is deemed necessary in furtherance of those objectives.

It is also my opinion that Bush is an incompetent fool who is only dimly aware of what he is doing.
