The WMD's Hussein had in 1992 were never all accounted for, and further reports said he had them after 1998, as late as 2003.

The poverty and despair so prevalent in the region create the terrorist breeding climate. We are getting capitalistic democracies going in the heart of the Middle East in order to change that terrible factor.

If you think you can get those backward ass brainwashed fanatics to be more tolerant of other religions just by talking to them, please go over there and be the first.

Here look how uncivilized the Dubai is

I'm glad there are a few such places. As a result of our actions, there will be tons more. Aren't you glad?

Terrorist connections that implied a threat to american business interests? HELL YEAH

Hamas and Hezbollah are suicide terrorist organizations, and Hussein provided financial incentives for Palestinian suicide bombers in Israel by offering money (ahead of time) to the families of suicide bombers. He also pulled a WMD terrorist attack on the Kurds. THAT is a terrorist.

What do you think of Gore's speech?

I'll find out once I'm stoned enough to tolerate him speaking.
