Kasey said: As for Bush eluding to finishing what his father started, could you please direct me to where you read/saw/or heard this. I would be interested in that type of comment.
I can't point to one specific source, but many. There was a clip of the current president saying about Saddam Hussein, "After all, this is the man that tried to kill my father." The video was shot at a speech this past Wednesday and was played on every news outlet, from NPR to all the major networks. I'm surprised you missed it. Oh, and I assume you meant "alluding," not "eluding." Bree said, I don't know if Saddam has the capabilities NOW to do major harm to us? The big question is do we have time to wait and find out? That question is covered by the U.S. War Powers Act and by Article 52 (I hope I remember the number correctly) of the U.N. Resolutions. The answer is, yes, we do have to wait if we are to respect the letter and spirit of both these bodies of law. It is ironic to me that the Bush administration is proposing to act outside national and international law. This is precisely what it says it wants to prevent Iraq from doing. That kind of circular logic doesn't make sense to me. Thank you to Jenny Goodspeed for the information you shared. I'd appreciate information on how Russia's oil interestes are influencing the U.S. stance on Iraq. It's still not clear to me. lots of love Anne
