New York Times says NO to Bush's war.

Saying No to War
Within days, barring a diplomatic breakthrough, President Bush will
decide whether to send American troops into Iraq in the face of United
Nations opposition.
We believe there is a better option involving long-running, stepped-up
weapons inspections.
But like everyone else in America, we feel the window closing.
If it comes down to a question of yes or no to invasion without broad
international support, our answer is no.
Even though Hans Blix, the chief weapons inspector, said that Saddam
Hussein was not in complete compliance with United Nations orders to
disarm, the report of the inspectors on Friday was generally
devastating to the American position.
They not only argued that progress was being made, they also
discounted the idea that Iraq was actively attempting to manufacture
nuclear weapons.
History shows that inspectors can be misled, and that Mr. Hussein can
never be trusted to disarm and stay disarmed on his own accord.
But a far larger and more aggressive inspection program, backed by a
firm and united Security Council, could keep a permanent lid on Iraq's
weapons program.
By adding hundreds of additional inspectors, using the threat of force
to give them a free hand and maintaining the option of attacking Iraq
if it tries to shake free of a smothering inspection program, the
United States could obtain much of what it was originally hoping to
achieve.
Mr. Hussein would now be likely to accept such an intrusive U.N.
operation.
Had Mr. Bush managed the showdown with Iraq in a more measured manner,
he would now be in a position to rally the U.N. behind that bigger,
tougher inspection program, declare victory and take most of the
troops home.
Unfortunately, by demanding regime change, Mr. Bush has made it much
harder for Washington to embrace this kind of long-term strategy.
He has talked himself into a corner where war or an unthinkable
American retreat seem to be the only alternatives visible to the
administration.
Every signal from the White House is that the diplomatic negotiations
will be over in days, not weeks.
Every signal from the United Nations is that when that day arrives,
the United States will not have Security Council sanction to attack.
There are circumstances under which the president would have to act
militarily no matter what the Security Council said.
If America was attacked, we would have to respond swiftly and
fiercely.
But despite endless efforts by the Bush administration to connect Iraq
to Sept. 11, the evidence simply isn't there.
The administration has demonstrated that Iraq had members of Al Qaeda
living within its borders, but that same accusation could be lodged
against any number of American allies in the region.
It is natural to suspect that one of America's enemies might be
actively aiding another, but nations are not supposed to launch
military invasions based on hunches and fragmentary intelligence.
The second argument the Bush administration cites for invading Iraq is
its refusal to obey U.N. orders that it disarm.
That's a good reason, but not when the U.N. itself believes
disarmament is occurring and the weapons inspections can be made to
work.
If the United States ignores the Security Council and attacks on its
own, the first victim in the conflict will be the United Nations
itself.
The whole scenario calls to mind that Vietnam-era catch phrase about
how we had to destroy a village in order to save it.
President Bush has switched his own rationale for the invasion several
times.
Right now, the underlying theory seems to be that the United States
can transform the Middle East by toppling Saddam Hussein, turning Iraq
into a showplace democracy and inspiring the rest of the region to
follow suit.
That's another fine goal that seems impossible to accomplish outside
the context of broad international agreement.
The idea that the resolution to all the longstanding, complicated
problems of that area begins with a quick military action is both
seductive and extremely dangerous.
The Bush administration has not been willing to risk any political
capital in attempting to resolve the conflict between Israel and the
Palestinians, but now the president is theorizing that invading Iraq
will do the trick.
Given the corner Mr. Bush has painted himself in, withdrawing troops
-- even if a considerable slice remains behind -- would be an
admission of failure.
He obviously intends to go ahead, and bet on the very good chance that
the Iraqi army will fall quickly.
The fact that the United Nations might be irreparably weakened would
not much bother his conservative political base at home, nor would the
outcry abroad.
But in the long run, this country needs a strong international body to
keep the peace and defuse tension in a dozen different potential
crisis points around the world.
It needs the support of its allies, particularly embattled states like
Pakistan, to fight the war on terror.
And it needs to demonstrate by example that there are certain rules
that everybody has to follow, one of the most important of which is
that you do not invade another country for any but the most compelling
of reasons.
When the purpose is fuzzy, or based on questionable propositions, it's
time to stop and look for other, less extreme means to achieve your
goals.

Yeah, inspectors in blazing white vans going 15 mph. Might as well add
hundreds of pizza hut delivery cars...at least they go faster. I think
the Iraqis have got the "hide it 12 hours" drill down already. Its the
appearance of "inspecting" without "inspecting". We're getting our legs
pulled folks. Even those reports sound halfway convincing.

And you'd rather watch 3,000 cruise missiles rain down on defenseless
(and innocent) Iraqi civilians from the comfort of your easy chair on
CNN. Man, you right wingers are so brave. Why don't you take a trip
to Baghdad to get a front row seat ?
And afterwards what will you say when terrorists from Saudi Arabia,
Pakistan, and the other 'stans in the area unleash biological and
chemical attacks in your home town ? Will you ask for air strikes to
take them out ?

Wrong. Daschle didn't even have to lift a finger. The title was magically

Wrong. The Senate elects it's leaders. Such and election was held and
Daschle was elected to be the Majority Leader.

That's correct. It's called cause and effect. We caused the WTC
disaster by training and funding Osama Bin Laden while he was in
Afghanistan. We IGNORE the complicity of the Saudis while focusing on
Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.
And we continue to allow innocent Palestinians to be slaughtered by
the NAZI-like Israeli government. As long as we support Israel and
their slaughter of Muslims, we'll deserve what is sent our way.

CIA's Woolsey Tells Court: Iraq Involved in 9/11
Former CIA Director James Woolsey offered bombshell testimony this
week in a lawsuit brought by the families of World Trade Center
victims that implicates Saddam Hussein in the 9/11 attacks.
The one-time Clinton administration intelligence chief described what
he said was a conspiracy between al-Qaeda and Baghdad. As evidence he
offered accounts from Iraqi defectors who have described a Boeing 707
jet parked on the ground at the terrorist training camp Salman Pak.
The plane, the eyewitnesses insist, was used as a hijacking school
prior to 9/11.
Since 1995 Saddam's most elite terror operatives had allegedly used
Salman Pak to train al-Qaeda recruits to overcome U.S. flight crews
using methods employed on 9/11, according to London's Observer
newspaper. In November 2001, dozens of other reports, including
several in the New York Times, covered news of Saddam's Salman Pak
hijacking school based on the defectors' accounts.
"I believe it is definitely more likely than not that some degree of
common knowledge between [al-Qaeda and Iraq] was involved here,"
Woolsey told a Manhattan federal court on Monday, according to the New
York Daily News.
He compared the relationship between Baghdad and Osama bin Laden's
terror network to two Mafia families "who hate each other, kill each
other from time to time but are still capable of working together
against a common enemy," according to testimony quoted by the
Associated Press.
At the very least, Saddam Hussein is guilty of aiding and abetting the
activities of al-Qaeda, Woolsey contended.
He also offered evidence suggesting that Baghdad had prior knowledge
of the 9/11 attacks.
A July 21, 2001, article in an Egyptian newspaper, headlined "America,
an Obsession with Osama bin Laden," indicated that Baghdad knew what
was coming less than months later, the former U.S. intelligence chief
told the court. The report, written by an Iraqi, predicted bin Laden
would target both New York City and the Pentagon.
Woolsey noted a line in the story warning that bin Laden would "strike
America on the arm that is already hurting," explaining that the
phrase was likely a reference to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade
Center.
No Iraqi journalist would write such a report without his government's
knowledge and approval, Woolsey testified.
black-ice
Hey Roger, I voted for the dimwit Bush but my opinion of him has
changed considerably once he had to start acting like a President.
He's not qualified to be President. He has no world view. He thinks
might makes right.
He ignores the domestic economic problems and believes that tax cuts
for those holding stocks will energize the economy. It won't.
He believes that it's his job to protect us. If that is true, he's
going about it the wrong way. He should reel in Israel and force them
to make peace with the Palestinians. He then should meet with the
Arab League on their turf and explain exactly what the hell he plans
to do about international terrorism and ask them for assistance. They
can do a lot more than he can if he can get them to "trust" us.

Was he questioned about this fact ?
November 2, 2001, 12:00 PST -- On October 31 the French daily Le
Figaro dropped a bombshell. While in a Dubai hospital receiving
treatment for a chronic kidney infection last July, Osama bin Laden
met with a top CIA official -- presumably the chief of station. The
meeting, held in bin Laden's private suite, took place at the American
hospital in Dubai at a time when he was a wanted fugitive for the
bombings of two U.S. embassies and last year's attack on the U.S.S.
Cole. Bin Laden was eligible for execution according to a 2000
intelligence finding issued by President Bill Clinton before leaving
office in January. Yet on July 14, 2001 he was allowed to leave Dubai
on a private jet, and there were no Navy fighters waiting to force him
down.

time when Reuters (Sept. 10) issues a business report stating,
"Airline stocks may be poised to take off."
Sept. 6-10, 2001 -- Highly abnormal levels of put options are
purchased in Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, AXA Re(insurance) which
owns 25 percent of American Airlines, and Munich Re. All of these
companies are directly impacted by the Sept. 11 attacks. [Source: ICT,

-- It has been documented that the CIA, the Israeli Mossad, and many
other intelligence agencies monitor stock trading in real time using
highly advanced programs reported to be descended from Promis
software. This is to alert national intelligence services of just such
kinds of attacks. Promis was reported as recently as June 2001 to be
in Osama bin Laden's possession and, as a result of recent stories by
Fox, both the FBI and the Justice Department have confirmed its use
for U.S. intelligence gathering through at least summer 2002. This
would confirm that CIA had additional advance warning of imminent
attacks. [Sources: The Washington Times, June 15, 2001; Fox, Oct. 16,

Sept. 11, 2001 -- Employees of Odigo, Inc. in Israel, one of the
world's largest instant messaging companies with offices in New York,
receive threat warnings of an imminent attack on the WTC less than two
hours before the first plane hits. Law enforcement authorities have
gone silent about any investigation of this. The Odigo research and
development offices in Israel are located in the city of Herzliyya, a
ritzy suburb of Tel Aviv that is the same location as the Institute
for Counter Terrorism, which eight days later reports details of
insider trading on 9-11. [Source: CNN's Daniel Sieberg, Sept. 28,

If the Palestinians want peace, they're just going to have to stop using
