I hate to say it, but if Clinton (better yet, Reagan) were speaking Bush's words and had Bush's stance, Saddam would have already been dead for six months.
As much as I agree with his policy, Bush simply cant speak. Ive seen "Public Speaking 101" students do a better job than our President.
He commands no respect on the podium and cant convince anyone of the validity of his position because he comes off an an 8 year old.
I agree. GW Bush does not inspire me in the least. That's the Republican's fault though. They should have stood behind John McCain. I wish he were President.
I agree with muckmaw as well. Let Saddam do what he wants. After he either uses WMDs or gives them to terrorists to use, the rest of the world can come whine at us why we should come help them out of their problems.
The US is NOT the aggressor in this standoff. It has already been proven that Saddam needs to go, and there is no one that I am aware of that disagrees with that. Therefore, the world should be protesting against HIM, shouting for HIM to step down and go away.
People are too fickle. How many times did the accusations fly that the US supposedly knew 9-11 was going to happen, yet did nothing? If on 09/01/2001, the US government put a lock-down on airlines, the whole world would have accused US of being over-reactive or whatever.
What's wrong with being pro-active, rather than reactive? If everyone agrees that someday, Saddam will do something horrible again, why not stop him BEFORE it happens, rather than after?
