Hmmm let me started saying that if Osama Bin Laden is in Iraq no matter what you ask to Sadam he will not only denied it and if the prove is overwhelming he will not turn him to the United States government. I personally think that there is no way to convince Sadam to do anything. He's not a man who can be told anything. He's a dictator and a very vendictive man. So it would be very naive to even try to ask him something when you know before hand his response.

And if Saddam and Osama is in cohorts, Bush just needs to show proof that Osama is in Iraq, and the whole world will stand behind the US on the issue. |

I get it! So, the US is right after all. There is weapon of mass destruction in Iraq. It's Osama!
Anyway, on a more serious note, can you believe Rumsfeld said this?

Well here is he new plan... let's pressure 9 and win.
From Deseret News:
U.S. AND BRITAIN WILL TRY TO SWAY U.N. NATIONS
The United States and Britain have decided that their strategy in the United
Nations will be to try to persuade nine of the 15 members of the Security
Council to back a new resolution authorizing the use of force against Iraq and
then to challenge France, Russia or China to veto the will of the council's
majority, administration officials said on Thursday.

Funny when I look at the other side of the mirror, I saw no war too if George Bush leaves office...... Maybe Saddam can leave Iraq and seek asylum in the US --- land of the free, home of the brave.

Is this true?

What do you think about the statement below highlighted in bold? Anyone could say the same for their country, not so?
From ABC News Nightline:
March 17, 2003 may go down in history as the beginning of the end of
Saddam Hussein's regime. Since November 8th, when United Nations
Resolution 1441 was passed, the clock began ticking. It would seem time
is about to run out. We could be days away from war. And today could
very well mark the final report to the Security Council from chief U.N.
weapons inspector Hans Blix. While the United States would very much like
a vote on a new resolution authorizing war against Iraq, President Bush
insisted last night "we really don't need anybody's permission" to defend
the United States.

First of all guys and gals, the UN was created primarily to provide a place where soverign nations could talk rather than shoot.
All members of the Security Council have, at vaarious times, initiated military action either without the sanction or against the wishes of the UN.
The UN is not a governing body and never will be. No nation is going to give up their soverign rights.
None of the nations need permission from the UN to initiate hostilities.
As for the Al Queda (spelling?) connection, I have heard nothing about bin Laden being in Iraq, but other high level members have been there.
One was even hospitalized there for a time (can't remember the name).
As for the why not concentrate on North Korea, why bother? All he's trying to do is rattle the USA into giving him more money and lift sanctions.
If he gets too crazy China will put the hammer to him. They are too close by to let him fire off a nuke.
China is merely sitting back, letting us take the heat and chuckling over the matter.
What's the problem with North Korea? We have three nuclear subs sitting right off his coastline. If he wants to break bad, then bye bye runt.
