Bobert: be sure you wear your Mudcat Tshirt during the demonstrations so we can see you on TV!

Nicole: I heard the speech you refer to when Bush mentioned that Saddam tried to "kill his dad." I believe that that attempted assisination took place well after the first President Bush left office. It was during Clinton's administration, and the president took the necessary steps to foil the attempt, so don't read into this that I am criticizing Clinton. Perhaps Bush should not have mentioned this in his speech. Obviously it fed folks like you, Bobert and many others to feed the argument that he is only taking this position because it is a "personal" thing. That is one of the most outrageous charges that has been flung at Bush.

Bobert: it is not surprising that you take the postion that Iraq should not be held to honoring it's commitments to U. N. Resolutions not related to WMD. You evidently don't believe they should be held to adhering to that one. Your statement that Powell presented no satisfactory answers to Iraq possessing WMDs. Satisfactory to who? You? The world? I thought EVERYBODY agrees that he has chemicial and biological weapons. These are not WPMs? Get real my friend.

The replacement of Saddam as dictator of Iraq has been our government's policy since the early 90's and that includes President Clinton's administration. No one is pointing the finger at Clinton, though, and charging that he was "taking it personally." Is it because Clinton had no father (who is already dead)for Saddam to murder?
