Instead of a broad coalition to help shoulder the burden both economically and militarily, we are the ones continually shelling out billions and losing young American lives daily. A

I can't belive this line of lgoic is still being repeated.
It's been documented that the french, germans, chinese and russians were reaping BILLIONS from the oil for food scandal. Do yu honestly think that any amount of naunced persuasion could have gotten them to turn away from that kind of money? MOst of th e int3rnational community in regard to this matter have shown themselves to be absolutely corrupt- lead by ANAN himself who profited handsomely along with his son.

What difference would waiting a few more months or even a year have made, while working on gaining partners

So sanctions didn't work for 12 years and according to the Deullfer report, sdaam ahd the will and knowledge to reinstitute his wmd program within months and you say kick back and wait some more. You are the "insane and arrogant and fascist" one.
I bet you were one of the ones this week whining about the supposed missing explosives. 1,000,000 tons of explosives and mumitions in the hands of a terrorist murdering dictator with hate for our country is not something that concerns you?

GW Inc. simply willed us to believe through constant drumming into the brain of the national psyche?

There we go again, Bush transformed from bumbling idiot to mastermind svengali. You can't deal with the fact that the majority of Americans feel the way he does, not the way you do.

"Problem is, once GW & co. took their decision to "go get 'em" public, instead of building a strong coalition through standard diplomatic channels while the weapons inspectors continued to moniter activity on the ground, they went headlong into it like cowboys with guns blazing to the consternation of most of the international community

You people & your revisionist history. And to think you will
vote based on a false perception of reality. That's not very
smart IMO.

The inspectors hit the ground & immediately began to document
evidence of "Material Breaches". As time passed the number
of "Material Breaches" grew in number & seriousness.

UN Resolution 1441 made it clear what the consequences were
for even one "Material Breach". Saddam was required to
unconditionally & immediately comply fully to every aspect of
UN Resolution 1441. He chose utter defiance.

As for your DNC Talking Point about this so-called "strong
coalition", it was a strong coalition. We weren't able to
convince governments that were in bed with Saddam. They took
bribes from & sold illegal weapons to Saddam, ET AL & got
quite rich in the process.

There was nothing Bush or anyone could do to bring these
corrupt governments on board.

Perhaps you have ignored all news about the Oil-for-Food
scandal. Perhaps you have ignored the evidence from the Iraq
Survey Group.

It's obvious you listen to the lies & disinformation Michael
Moore types, Team Kerry & the DNC.

Your POV is dead wrong. Your source of these known lies are
those you plan to vote for.

Pretty scary, 'eh?
