Chan,
I was also confused. I just posted it for y'all to see.
It makes me sad that so many hate us (aka US).
I don't want a war. Saddam will not bomb us first. He can't reach us. He will kill alot of innocent Arabs and Jews in the meantime and that is the real reason we are there. Oil? c'mon we don't care about oil. That is so blown out of poportion. I say station troops in our friendly countries Israel, Kuwait, things still owned by England, and maybe Saudi Arabia? Defend these countries and let the others fight and bomb themselves out of our way. Re-kindle the Iraq-Iran conflict with propaganda and watch them battle with our long range satellites. When the weapons of question pop up then we reattempt the UN approval. When they vote yes we laugh and let them die. After the carnage is over, we will walk in (with gas-masks) and declare ourselves the victors.
Work smarter, not harder. He who laughs last.....laughs hardest.
