Well then, they were interpreting it with an English/Martian dictionary, because there's no way that that law could be "interpreted" to mean anything else by any sane individual.
But there's no need for an uproar, until the US Supreme Court makes its decision.
Liam: yes, but that's what The Bush administration has been saying, too. We need a new resolution.
Part 1 of the resolution = give inspectors full authority to go anywhere, anytime, they need to. No 'notice' no 'observers' (the need to get which gives the Iraqis time to hide stuff).
Part 2 = the authority to stomp Saddam, if he doesn't comply with part one, until he does.
Now, tell the French and Russians and Chinese that. Be loud.
Pardon us, but we're preparing to either:
1. Enforce part 2, because we assume that Saddam won't comply with part 1, and we're pretty much the only folks both able and willing to enforce part 2.
2. Go in without the resolution, if its blocked, because it's the last resort when that fails.

Careful. You keep showing your temper off like that, and they'll take away your 'stiff upper lip' privileges.

That was the least temper filled post that Lee has ever posted.

That's great. USING QUOTES FROM FILMS IMPROVES YOUR POINT!

A new generation in the military, a 'new' war to be fought....
Every US generation has had a 'war' to fight, remember that this group of kids was about 10 when the last Bush sent in the troops.... Now it is their turn...

Given the recent activity in the House of Representatives, I'd just like to say:
GO GEPHARDT! Screw Streisand's memo!

I sincerely hope that, if Bush invades Iraq, he finds absolutely zero evidence of any nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons.

I visited some Former-Iraqi citizins today, very nice people, hot looking daughters....
She felt SH and GWB were both losers, er, her words were, '...they are both stupid.'
She got out of Iraq after the last Bush invasion, she , her husband and kids, were bound for anyplace people didn't drop bombs on them. She was tired of it, first Iran, then the Bush team....
If all the women over there look like her and her daughters then maybe we should go have a big ass party over there.....

I sincerely hope that you, in fact, do not really hope that to be the case. It says a great deal about your character if you want Bush to be found in the wrong at the expense of lives of the Iraqi people.
If, however, no evidence were found, I would be the first Republican in line calling for an investigation and demanding someone be held accountable. If such an investigation implicated Bush, then I would support his removal from office.

Thank you for that lovely interpretation, Herr Spin-Doktor.
Now, back to what I actually said... I at no point suggested that I wanted Bush to invade Iraq at all. However, if, like the crazed lunatic he is, he chooses to do so, I would prefer that he find nothing. If his actions were ever justified, how could we stop him from going even further?
