I don't want war, but I also don't want to wake up one morning to the wonderful smell of anthrax. Or walk down the road to be pricked with some Ricin. With the suspected ties between Saddam and Osama Bin Laden, we have to be careful.

Plus Saddam has had 12 years to disarm now, and is being stubborn. He is gonna kicked his arse royally kicked if he doesn't disarm, and the political side of it doesn't seem to be working.

As for UN support, I can understand why France and Germany don't want war, but they need to understand the severity of the situation. There are only so many diplomatic resolutions and chances Saddam can be allowed. It would appear he is reaching the end of the line for those resolves, and is forcing war upon himself.


Personally? I can't wait. There's no better way to spend an evening than to watch a real live war on tv. And from the safety of my own home, nonetheless!

You go out and stand shoulder to shoulder with those soldiers and stare death in the face, then tell me you can't wait for war. Thats such a d!ckhead view of it. Go home, Grow up and get a serious adult view on this thing.

Headline: Satellite Photos Believed To Show Airliner for Training Hijackers
Byline: Michael A. Dornheim
Dateline: Los Angeles, January 7, 2002

Satellite images of a facility near Baghdad show an airliner that Iraqi defectors say is used to train terrorists in the art of hijacking.Space Imaging, which operates the Ikonos civilian surveillance satellite, was prompted to look for the aircraft in existing photos after a ''Frontline'' television show interviewed two Iraqi defectors who described the hijacker training and the aircraft used for the mock attacks.

One of them drew a map of the Salman Pak training area, and Space Imaging was able to find the facility and the aircraft in photographs taken on Apr. 25, 2000, of an area about 15 mi. southeast of Baghdad on the Tigris River. The zoomed-in photograph is a close match to the hand-drawn map, lending credence to the defector's story. He is Sabah Khodada, and said he worked at the secret Salman Pak complex for about six months as an administrator. The facility is run by the Iraqi secret service, and is used to teach assassination, kidnapping, hijacking of airplanes, buses and trains and other terrorist operations, Khodada said. ''This camp is specialized in exporting terrorism to the whole world.''

Foreigners were trained separately from Iraqis, both Khodada and the other defector said.The aircraft is sitting by itself far from an airport. ''In this camp, I saw [people] getting trained [in] situations where security will not allow you to get weapons into the plane - then what you need to do is to use...very advanced terrorizing methods,'' Khodada said on the television show.''They are even trained how to use utensils for food, like forks and knives provided in the plane....

They are trained how to plant horror within the passengers by doing such actions. Even pens and pencils can be used for that purpose. They can do it, and they can overcome any plane because they are very well physically trained, and they are very strong. They can overtake a plane in a very efficient manner. ''Training will include the way they would sit in the plane, how they enter the plane.... They will, for example, sit in twos, and they will assign who will sit to the right of the other guy, and who will sit to the other side. Two will sit in the front, two will sit in the back and two will sit, for example, in the middle. They are trained to jump all at one time, and make a declaration that 'We are going to take over the plane. And nobody [move], don't move, don't make any moves.'''
 
No one really wants war, but the UN is seriously getting on my nerves right now. UN (i.e. France) support doesn't matter right now.
 
I don't want war.

I didn't want a root canal either; but the pain and risk of not doing it was worse than the pain and risk of having it done.

FWIW
