Thread Name: BS: Colin Powell finds the 'Smoking Gun'
Subject: RE: BS: Colin Powell finds the 'Smoking Gun'
Gee, it's nice to see we're all having such a fine time beating the hell out of each other here. If y'all just had some nukes we could really get down now couldn't we? But the frustration and sniping ( even this little bit here) are natural coming from folks who, regardless of belief in the actions, see the actions of Bush as not just probable, but 3 steps past inevitable.

Every Guard and Reserve support unit around here has been called up, Powell says it is now in the "end game," Bush says Iraq's time is up, and....if you want real proof.....the 101st Airborne has been redeployed. Jack Kennedy saw the importance of taking action but saw the equal importance of gaining the backing of the OAS, NATO, and of course the UN, before taking that unilateral action. It was a strong action we took then, but an action tempered continually with an eye toward stopping it as soon as possible, when conditions were met. Bush will not do this, but will only ignore Iraqi concessions, or add new stipulations, whatever is required, to flex American muscle.

It's going to happen folks.
