I believe that would be a problem for birds, not us... Quote:

"unprovoked" and "harmless" are 2 words that don't belong in the same sentence when talking about Iraq..They apparently didn't have the large stock piles we were expecting...does that make them harmless? far from it... I'd also go as far to say that shooting out our planes on a daily basis would also qualify as provoking us.
Now was Chalabi's intel correct? It doesn't appear so, but since the complete story isn't in about Saddam's WMD programs and what he actually had(and what he did with them before the start of the war - convoys of trucks going into Syria ring a bell?) it gets harder to say his intel was 100% false when we don't have 100% of the information, wouldn't you say?
Even if you say his intel was 100% wrong, it changes nothing. We did the right thing removing Saddam from power.
O'reilly - the liberal's favorite guy, I'm sure - wrote an interesting article today, linking Iraq with terrorists...basically saying that the war in Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism is quite misleading..
The Terrible Truth About Terror<!--QuoteBegin-Article@
What are we to make of the New York Times describing terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as a "Jordanian militant?" I mean, this guy is one of the most vicious al Qaeda thugs in the world; right now he's behind much of the violence in Iraq and has been active in the worldwide terror network since at least 1990.
On June 17th of this year, a U.S. intelligence official provided my researcher Nate Fredman with the following information: In early 2000, Zarqawi traveled to Afghanistan to assume a leadership position in an al Qaeda training camp. There he and his associates trained other terrorists how to develop and distribute "toxins."
Zarqawi stayed in the Al Qaeda area until war broke out after 9/11/01. He actively fought against U.S. forces and was wounded. After the collapse of the Taliban, he fled to Iran and then traveled to Iraq where his wounded leg was treated in a hospital run by Uday Hussein.
In the summer of 2002, Zarqawi went to Northern Iraq to train terrorists with the group Ansar al Islam, which is affiliated with al Qaeda. After the U.S. invaded Iraq, Zarqawi went underground to organize resistance. The CIA believes Zarqawi personally beheaded American hostage Nicholas Berg, and there is now a $25 million bounty on his head. [/quote]
<!--QuoteBegin-Sonart,
It's like a cop staring down at the skinny little unarmed kid he just shot.[/quote]You know, I never understood this logic....maybe the cop should have waited until the "skinny little unarmed kid" grew up, armed himself, and could shoot back, before the cop acted...then the cop would probably be dead, along with how many others in the police force that were called in for back up, not to mention how many innocent people the kid could have killed by having a serious shoot out with the cops.
The way I see it - and I'm sure most of you will disagree - is that removing Saddam(the kid) now prevents him from growing up and arming himself. Why wait until it's too late?
