Subject: RE: BS: Iraq: Report of The Smoking Gun
Let's all calm down. There's going to be an invasion of Iraq. There was always going to be an invasion of Iraq, no matter if the only weapon of mass destruction found was a twelve bore shotgun. Like many another, I have been much more enraged by the rhetoric coming from the Bush/Rumsfeld camp and from their Bushie-tail Blair poodle than I have ever been by the certainty that Saddam is a first-class ratbag. He is an evil man, whether he possesses WMD or not. But as long as there are present in Iraq a team [a much larger team if necessary] of inspectors representing the UN [NOT the vested interests of any minor group] there can be no opportunity for Saddam to unleash his "maybe" WMDs. From the standpoit of cost OR of morality this is a much better option than launching a ferocious and murderous assault on the people of Iraq. But as I say; it's going to happen, and the knowledge disgusts me, and thank God, many millions of others.
One over-riding reason for invasion has grown from nil since all this started----WMDs MUST be found now, or some people will never be believed again. Rest assured---they will be found--even if they are not there just yet [and I do not completely discount Iraqi intrigue]. Can anyone think of an easier task than driving a "modified lorry" over the Turkish or Kuwaiti border?
