Steady Support for War

Analysis

(excerpt)
March 10 — Public support for war with Iraq is holding steady at about six in 10 Americans, with the public saying by a 26-point margin that U.N. authorization is not necessary for the United States to proceed...
...But while Americans would prefer more international support, most say it's not a condition for war. In this poll, 61 percent say U.N. authorization isn't necessary for the United States to act. That rises to 71 percent if some U.S. allies participate. And in the final analysis, 59 percent support war with Iraq, unchanged in the last week.(end excerpt)

M's commentary:
Grassroots America knows what has to be done.
The Axis of Weasels have their billions in contracts with Iraq = economic motivation for arguing against the war. The French also get their jollies by opposing the U.S. on anything and everything.
China can simply be counted on to oppose U.S. interests.
Russia has strong economic incentives to oppose the war.
The pro-communist Stalinist/Maoist organizers of the groups A.N.S.W.E.R., IAC, and NION have dubious motives at best, although many demonstrators are sincere.
Who really cares what Cameroon and Guinea think about this, outside the artificial world of the U.N.
Iraqi exiles, the majority Shi'a population, and the Kurds all favor Saddam's removal, and so does much of the terrified populace in and around Baghdad.
Saddam has ordered and received thousands of U.S. and British uniforms duplicates (mainstream news media, I forget which one) and he will order his soldiers to commit atrocities against Iraqi civilians while wearing these uniforms. He will also order many of his real fighters to fight the US forces while dressed in civilian clothes--all in order to sway public opinion as these slaughters will be captured on video. The credulous Arab public will buy it hook line and sinker when it is broadcast on al-Jazeera, and many Western peaceniks will be gullible enough to swallow it too, despite the fact that Saddam has already received delivery of thousands of US/British military uniforms.
The regular Iraqi Army will surrender faster than the French ever did. Saddam and his inner circle will fight to the end, and possibly some of them will be hanged from streetlamps by mobs of the families and relatives of those they butchered over the years. Needless to say, for Saddam, that would be getting off easy.
The anti-war folks will be "amazed" at the vast quantities of biological and chemical weapons discovered, and at the immense underground militarized labyrinths under Baghdad, at the training camp for al Qaeda hidden near Tikrit, and at the corroborations of the liberated Iraqis themselves. More of Saddam's evil plans will be brought to light. However the anti-war crowd will downplay the importance of all of this and instead focus on American "imperialism."
