Bush is full of crap
I just saw his remarks today and his ongoing attempts to link Iraq to "Al Quaeda type organizations." He also warned Saddam and his generals to not kill civilians or destroy infrastructure. Of course if we invade lots of civilians will be killed and lots of roads destroyed, intentionally or not.
I've decided I don't trust the President's judgement or truthfulness nor his senior advisors' and will not support any invasion unless the UN approves. The civilian cost in Iraq will be too high for our country to go at it alone. We will not only kill thousands of innocent people but make new enemies all around the world. We already see the effect this has on our relations with Europe let alone less friendly regions.
The world is better off if Saddam is out of power but the cost of an invasion without broad international support is way too high. Now if the UN agrees - bombs away.
If the UN does not sanction a war then Bush needs to be voted out next election. He is not a great domestic leader and with his baggage our international leadership is even worse.
