Ah, that explains a lot. Politically speaking, "moderate" is usually synonymous with "wishy-washy" and "swayed by emotion".

PS During Clinton's term, bin Laden was IN CUSTODY in Africa, and offered to the US, and Bill did NOTHING.

No, moderate in my case means I hold conservative values in some cases, and liberal in others. I am on both extreme ends of the spectrum, thus allowing me to average out as moderate. I am hardly wishy washy and emotion. I stand my ground to the bitter end. And in regards to bin Laden being in custody, there was never any concrete proof he actually was.

What would happen if nothing was done to remove the regime?

Why worry? Be Happy!
 
Whatcha' all so worried about? It is not like Herr Hitler... (Ooops! I mean "Herr Hussein") ...has exhibited any hostility towards the US, or any predilection to use violent means or invade his neighbors, or anything like that...

Or gas his own people. Or execute any and all opposition.

Or actively support terrorism.

Then you read Michael Kelly in the Washington Post and find out that the so-called "Peace" marches in Washington & San Francisco were, per the New York Times, chiefly sponsered, as was last October's antiwar march in Washington, by "the activist group International Answer".

International A. N. S. W. E. R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) is a front group for the communist Workers World Party, which is, literally, a Stalinist organization that today unquestionably supports any despotic regime that lays any claim to socialsim, or simply to anti-Americanism!

Besides, our "friends" in France and Germany just know that Saddam will be ready to listen to wisdom just as soon as the UN inspectors have a little more time to finish up. The last ten years of his reign were just not long enough. He'll change, won't he?:rolleyes:

Just need to keep those knee-jerk liberal News polls a commin' and he'll just rollover and play dead, right? No need to prepare or anything: just trust in Uncle Saddam.:p

Why do people think that if we get rid of Saddam, that the next person the US puts in power will be better? After all we put him in power in Iraq and the Shah in power in Iran and have supported the monarchies of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
The criteria by which the US elites have judged these rulers has been whether or not they serve the interests of the US and not whether or not they serve the interests of the people of those countries.
Hussein does not serve US interests very well anymore (except insofar as he helps raise the poll numbers at home) and Saudi Arabia is becoming more of a problem so the US political elites want another way of controlling access to natural resources in the area. Hence, get rid of Hussein and as Colin Powell put it, 'hold the oil fields in trust for the Iraqi people'.

Oh, that's right...Kind of like there was no "concrete proof" that Clinton was hiding his Cubans in Monica's *****! :rolleyes:

Of course he was in custody...He was offered to us...it's a little difficult and risky to offer something you don't have, don't you think?! Why did he not TRY, at least? Why did he just shrug it off? Oh, yeah...he was busy doing more important things...Like hiding and destroying Whitewater documents..."Oh, what have we here, Hillary? The documents that the independent counsel was looking for? The ones you said you didn't have? How did they get here in your office, I wonder?"

:rolleyes:
