>>Sarin Nerve Agent Bomb Explodes in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A roadside bomb containing deadly sarin nerve agent exploded near a U.S. military convoy, the U.S. military said Monday. It was believed to be the first confirmed discovery of any of the banned weapons that the United States cited in making its case for the Iraq war.

Two members of a military bomb squad were treated for "minor exposure," but no serious injuries were reported.

>>>We cant stop the drug trade, which comes in by the thousands of tons<<

I don't know a lot about the drug trade but how much of the drugs come from the Middle East? I thought most come from from South/Central America.

>>>Since January 1 of this year, an estimated 600,000 illegal immigrants have crossed the border between the US and Mexico and are still here.<<<

Should we do a preemtive attack on Mexico next? If it so easy to get WMD's here accross our borders then I guess they may already be here.

Don't be sorry. No, Iraq wasn't responsible for the Cole. Terrorists were though. And attacks like those are part of the reason for the war on terror.

My thought is how easy is it to smuggle something into this country when we do not border it in any way...Iraq is 1/2 way around the world, just trying to figure out how it would be done. How is Iraq an immediate threat?

OT..Your print(font) is very small, is there a way you could make it larger? My eyes are not what they used to be even with my glasses.

Good question. I'm guessing that you mean why Iraq, as in why not North Korea, and why not the Phillippines, and why not Jordan, etc. For that matter, why not start within our own borders??

One small win? This is no small win, Libya's nuclear disarmament is a very big deal. President Bush has made a believer out of the nations who harbor terrorists. This is a very significant win because he proved that he meant what he said. Contrary to the presidents who came before him who ran away from terrorists, or treated them as if they were common criminals.

President Bush has not lied to this nation, or to anybody. He has proved that he tells the truth and means what he says.

We did not enter Iraq to avenge 9-11. This was preemptive to avoid a 9-11-like attack on our soil in the future. Saddam Hussein had been bribing member nations of the UN Security council, kicked out inspectors, played games which gave him 12 years to build his very dangerous arms program. With the knowledge that he had dangerous weapons, hated America, was a loose cannon, and had ties to terrorists it was necessary that we stop him *before* we had another worse attack here on our soil than we had already experienced. We had the right to enforce the UN Resolutions, this action was overwhelmingly supported by our congress, so that is what we did.

I will post some links I've found that tie Iraq to Al Qaeda. Some of them are from the 90's when President Clinton bombed the country. Some are more recent.
