EVERYONE knew Saddam Hussein was cheating on his WoMD obligations. And most of us thought (and I still believe it to correct) that Saddam Hussein will deliver his proxy terrorists his WoMD. To be sure that the WoMD threat is removed you needed boots on the ground. But once the issue Saddam and WoMD has been resolved, there was little reason to stay in Iraq. My impression was that the reason US troops stayed, was to secure the oil fields and make sure Syria, Iran and Turkey don't get any smart ideas.<BR/><BR/>ps.

N...DR,<BR/><BR/>re: Alberto is oh so sorry<BR/><BR/>Yes, indeed, he is. Not to worry though, Mr. McCormick says, "The matter is closed." And, "He [Mr. Fernandez] is at his job."<BR/><BR/>Now, I agree it is the height of arrogance to tell Muslims that they are so flawed as to need a change of "heart and mind." But, I admit having little confidence in that old time religion of Mr. Bush. It was also stupid because it showed irresolution.<BR/><BR/>Muslims know well what is necessary for peace to prevail: Muslims must be too frightened to ever attack the modern West again. They also know that the West could care less about the religion the savages practice, so long as they mind their own business peacefully. <BR/><BR/>Mr. Fernandez's words were true, but obviously not in the way intended. Peace will come with an American administration of a different temperament than the present. In fairness, a new model Congress will be needed as well.allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798524644256471907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1161645844407201372006-10-23T19:24:00.000-04:002006-10-23T19:24:00.000-04:00Mr Allawi, Mr TChilabi, Mr Talibani had formed a "...Mr Allawi, Mr TChilabi, Mr Talibani had formed a "triumvirate", that with the backing of a professionally trained Iraqi Army could have migrated Iraq to democracy, in the Turkish model.<BR/><BR/>Authoratative but progressive leadership.
