After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, BUFDRVR
blurted out: I already spelled that out for you. Possible chemical and biological weapons **Possible** but, to date no "smoking gun" except for evidence of plans. Compelling enough for US citizens...a plurality at least, but not the same as Adlai Stevenson showing pictures of russian missiles in Cuba. and ties to international terrorists. And while this situation is indeed different, for the sake of debate, one could easily "connect the dots" with Mr Rumsfeld having had "ties" to Saddam Hussein's regime. One can make an easy connection between previous US administrations and supplying weapons to the Taliban back in the day when the DRCPBs were still the major threat to world peace. It was a combination we could not allow to continue and since it was apparent the UN, nor anyone else was going to do anything about it, we did. Except for universal agreement that Saddam Hussein was/is a brutal SOB and worthless human being, perhaps other avenues could have been attempted...say like US actions vs Maummar Qaddafi back in the 80s, ie specific targeting trying to decapitate Huusein & sons (short of invading). You quote perhaps one of the most corrupt Presidents the US had in the 20th Century. Vietnam, Berlin, Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis, oh yeah that JFK he was a saint. LOL. Oh my...please JFK beats GWB in style, grace, integrity, combat experience, combat wounds, education...and getting laid by the contemporary sex goddess. Vietnam was inherited from Eisenhower (yep DDE personally briefed JFK that containment of communism in asia was predicated on stopping them in Laos...yeah the war we didn't really fight), wasted effort. BTW containment was plan of the day vs International Monolithic (according to US experts) Communism. Enough blame to share with many US Presidents Berlin was extremely WELL handled and precipitated by Nikita closing off access to Berlin (but you knew that). BoP another inherited to plan and policy. Should have cancelled it but trusted others. Cuban Missile Crisis, wow big brass cajones. The existance of the UN has not benifited US national security to a significant enough degree for most Americans to really care for the organization. To be fair, do you really think the UN exists for our security? Of course you don't, it exists for everyones. There is absolutely ZERO reason to expect the UN to rubber stamp everything any US president wants to do. Negative. Just my opinion, but I believe if the UN fails to assist in Iraq, that public opinion will turn to the point of forcing the US to withdraw *slowly* from the UN. As far as most Americans are concerned, the UN is at best an irrelevent organization, at worst its an anti-US organization. Hey we're all fickle. When the UN goes along with GWB everything is copacetic. If UN segments (majority) are against us, the UN is instantly irrelevant. Perhaps we should ask ourselves why don't they agree with our actions. The US is now spending way too much on TSA and screening for "bombs" at high school football games in Iowa, but heck many of our citizens think it's OK. I resent TSA screening when I go to work just to make some paying customer feel like our government is actually doing something productive on the home front. The costs both in money and personal freedom don't justify the "benefit" IMO. YMMV juvat |
