Amos, will you quit sucking up to your boss (Bobert)! You said if Saddam has nukes, we should get rid of him, or words to that effect. I called this to the attention of your boss, and he babbles on about "if Saddam has nuclear weapons he can't deliver, then we have a problem." That's a problem? The problem, Mr. President, is if he CAN deliver them! Geeze! If you're gonna be president, Bobert ole' Buddy, then you're going to have to shape up a bit. Bush has, so I'm sure if you put your mind to it, you can too!

And as to our backing Saddam many years ago, yes that's right. Why? Because our relations with Iran happened to be piss poor at the time. Why? Because they held lots of fine American folks as hostage and Jimmy Carter couldn't figure out a way to "talk" them into freedom. So yes, we crawled into bed with Saddam. Why? It suited our interest at the time to do so. Rocket science, right?

The ball is in the U.N. and Saddam's court now. The U. S., for the time being, is out of it. Now we will see just how strong the U. N. is, and how dedicated they are to enforcing their own Resolutions.
