Sooooooo there ya go. Now I ask you, if you were Saddam would you flagrantly disobey all these resolutions on purpose? Or would you do it because you really had something to hide! Would you disobey resolution 678 knowing that the UN gave permission all the UN members to restore international peace and security in the area? I don't think I would mmmmm unless I had something to hide. Oh something like uhhhhh weapons of mass destruction! Why would you deliberately not let UN inspectors in to do their job unless you had something to hide?? Sure doesn't make sense to me how about you? Well you can read all this at http://www.state.gov/p/nea/rls/o1fs/14906.htm. In addition to the legally binding UNSCRs, the UN Security Council has also issued at least 30 statements from the President of the UN Security Council regarding Saddam Hussein's continued violations of UNSCRs. Of course you don't have to believe me go the UN site yourself and read the statements. www.un.org/documents/pstatesc.htm....

Well I guess I should post some interesting stuff that I found on www.townhall.com. A lot of stuff that I post here, is from my own thoughts. However this next post came from townhall. Apparently Andy Roony who is on the 60 minutes program had a commentary. In this commentary basically he made a statement directly to George Bush. His question was "Explain to us why we have troops in Iraq?" Now this is where hehe it gets interesting. Because here is the response. Mr. Roony while busy preparing your commentaries, you perhaps failed to hear the president explain this--over and over and over again. Allow me to try. The world changed for many--apparently not you after 9/11. Saddam Hussein violated numerous United Nations resolutions following the first Persian gulf War. Saddam's military continuously shot at US and British planes patrolling the Northern and Southern No-Fly zones. He offered $25,000 to families of homicide bombers. We know he possessed chemical nd biological weapons because he used them during the Iraq/Iran war, and on his own people, the Kurds. the October '02 national Intelligence Estimate concluded with "high confidence"--the highest certainty allowed--that Saddam possessed stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. All 16 intelligence agencies contributing to the NIE unanimously agreed on the chemical and biological weapons assumptions, with disagreement only on how far along Saddam was toward acquiring nukes. Weapons inspectors found no WMD stockpiles, leading many Americans to feel that the president either lied or cherry-picked intelligence to lead us into war. but the robb-Silverman Commission concluded that the president didn't lie. The bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee's 511-page report concluded that the president did not lie. The Brisish Butler Commission, which examined whether Prime Minister tony Blair "sexed up" the intelligence to make a case for war, concluded the PM didn't lie. Kenneth Pollace, an opponent of the Iraq war, served as Iraq expert and intelligence analyst in the Clinton administration. Pollace writes that during his 1999-2001 tour on the National Security Council, "the intelligence community convinced me and the rest of the Clinton Administration that Saddam had reconstituted his WMD programs following the withdrawal of the UN inspectors, in 1998, and was only a matte of years away from having a nuclear weapon...The US intelligence community's belief that Saddam was aggressively pursuing weapons of mass destruction pre-dated bush's inauguration, and therefore cannot be attributed to political pressure...Other nations' intelligence services were similarly aligned with US view...Germany...Israel, russia, Britain, China, and even France held positions sililar to that of the United States...In sum, (SET ITAL) no one (END ITAL) doubted that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction." meanwhile, neighboring Iran defiantly pursues nuclear weapons. Bush reasoned that a free, democratic and prosperous Iraq would destabilize Iran, accomplishing regime change without military force. This would encourage the rest of the Arab world to direct their grievances toward their own leaders, rather than against the "infidels." We remain in Iraq because, as former Secretary of State James Baker put it, "If we picked up and left right now...you would see the biggest civil war you have ever seen. Every neighboring country would be involved in there, doing its own theing, Turkey, Iran, Syria, you name it, and even our friends in the Gulf." Former Secretary of State nd informal Bush adviser Henry Kissinger--who knows something about the consequences of cutting and running--wrote, "Victory over the insurgency is the only meaningful exit strategy." The political aim of our Islamofascist enemies is a worldwide Caliphate, or Islamic world. Renowned Islam expert Bernard Lewis recently reiterated his support for the war: "The response to 9/11 came as a nasty surprise to Osama Ben Laden and his followers. the were expecting more of the same---bleating and apologies--instead of which they got a vigorous reaction, first in Afghanistan and then in Iraq." It is true that almost 3,000 of our best military have died. Any figure above zero is a tragedy. But America--on both sides of the Civil War--lost more than 600,000 soldiers, or 2 percent of the country's population of 31 million. Of our country's 132 million, we lost more than 400,000 in World War II, or .3 percent of our population. In the Korean War, we lost 37,000, and the Vietnam War saw 58,000 dead. Many say that after failing to find stockpiles of WMD, Bush "switched" rationale for the war. Consider and excerpt from a new York Times editorial about a speech Bush gave weeks before the coalition entered Iraq: "President Bush sketched an expansive vision last night of what he expects to accomplish by a war in Iraq. Instead of focusing on eliminating weapons of mass destruction, or feducing the threat of terror to the United States, Mr. Bush talked about establishing a 'free and peaceful Iraq' that would serve as a 'dramatic and inspiring example' to the entire Arab and Muslim world, provide a stabilizing influence in the Middle East and even help end the Arab-israeli conflict." Now if you are still confused Mr. Roony please write back and I will try again.

I received an email the other day from a friend of mine in Colorado. It was interesting to read so I thought I would post this for you all too. The Pope recently made a statement about Muslim violence that occurred around 400-600 A.D. In this statement he said that Jihad violence was against the nature of God. Muslims murdered 3,000 innocent people in New York but expect no criticism. Muslims murdered 200 tourists in Bali and expect no criticism. Muslims murdered over 300 children and their teachers in Beslan and expect no criticism. Muslims murdered 292 mainly Kenyans and Tanzanians at two US Embassies and expect no criticism. Muslims murdered 241 US and 58 UN peacekeepers and expect no criticism. Muslims murdered 52 innocent people in London and 191 in Madrid and expect no criticism. Muslims murdered 200 in Mumbai and expect no criticism. Muslims beheaded hostages in Iraq, Buddhist monks in Thailand, christian schoolgirls in Indonesia, but expect no criticism. Muslims murdered 500,000 innocent people in Darfur and expect no criticism. Muslims regard Jews as "pigs and sons of monkeys," and vow to nuke Israel off the map. And expect no criticism. Since 9/11 Muslims have killed over 26,000 and wounded over 50,000 in terrorist attacks. And expect no criticism. Since 9/11 they have committed attacks in over 60 countries and countless thousands since their conquest began in 620 AD. And yet they dont expect criticism. But if a Pope dares to tell the truth about Islam or the Danes publish a cartoon about Mohammed then let the outpouring of hate and slaughter begin. But from twisted logic, the Muslims demand an apology from the Pope!! Geez give me a break.
