If Iraq is so dangerous.....

What the heck are we waiting for?

Really! Why wait? We are bad mofo's when it comes to military power, and have had no problem in the past doing what needs to be done. If Saddam is really that bad, we ought to be squashing him now! Right?

Willie....er, Saddam is not quite as dangerous as he was just before the elections.  I'm guessing he will become real dangerous again in the summer of '04.

Do you guys watch the news on the weekend?  Just wondering, because if you had you'd know that Bush hasn't stopped talking about saddam.

 I know it's hard for you libs to comprehend what I'm about to say, but I'll say it anyway :D  I know that you guys are used to being lied to durring a campain and that you are used to your elected leaders doing things diferently than they said they would durring their campains.   See on our side of the isle we actually expect our leaders to do what they said they would do durring the campain. So this is what Bush has been doing the last week.  So I think this may be causing you some confusion MT.  But don't worry,  everything is good.  

 Who knows Bush may even be smart enough to figure out a way to do this without actually goin to war. Oh wait,  no he's too stupid for that.  How could I be so nieve....

Really now... I remember Bush going on and on about nation building and how he would put a stop to it.

We're building one in Afghanistan and if Saddam is gone, we'll be building one there also.

 To see if there's a way to do it with out going to war?


 Do you think Bush really wants a war?  Do you think Republicans or Conservatives want a war?  Do you honestly think that?  Do you want this war? any war?     Do you think that because we suppport the military that we automaticly want war?  Seriously is that what you believe about conservatives?

Due process as required by international law and insisted upon by our allies and many on these forums.

If Bush is waiting on public opinion, he's going about it all wrong.  :)  Support for a military conflict with Iraq has consistently eroded over the last four months, from a high of about 75-80% supporting it to only 55% in the last poll I checked just before the election.

...and I would add that entertaining the possibility that a multi-national coalition could be built first isn't a bad reason to wait a little longer. And really, isn't the issue one of UN resolution compliance post Gulf War? If Saddam chooses to follow the resolutions, no war. He slips up, war. He's given every opportunity possible, no country can legitimately object.
