LOL, thanks for that first part, Ill have to print this one out and show a copy to my mom...lol...Yea I get your point on the Saudi Arabia thing...They showed their stuff over this war too...my gas went up to around 3.50 to as much as lik 4.23(estimate)...I know Sr. wasnt a MAJOR force but dont you think its possible that George might have had that thought flash across his mind? I dunno what was going through the political advisors' heads if they were thinking if they thought that one man was going to change all those years of religious fighting...Religious grudges run much, MUCH deeper than political reasons. They could be set in a room against each other with 100 billion dollars and they wouldnt even go for the money until one faction was dead...They have geniuine need to defeat each other. A thousand-year brooding, bred hatred of the other. I dunno either wether or not they had the weapons, but I do know that they didn't find any, and you're right, they most likely didnt have anything that could have been launched against the continental US...however, if they knew that we would be over there fighting after 9/11, then they may have used those missles to effective use when we first began our offensive...And even though that wouldnt hurt us extremely...that would put a HUGE HUGE HUGE dent in our countries morale if we lost large numbers as soon as we stepped foot within range of those missles...As to the valid reason point, we can only hope that George Bush follows in Clintons footsteps...WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT!
Indeed, we are there now and that's what matters. We can worry about what happened when Bush's book comes out.
