Hagbard Celine said:WMD may not have been the only terms of the ceasefire agreement, but they were the only terms of the invasion. We knew then and we know now that those terms were bogus.
The Bush admin's definition of "diplomacy" was give an impossible ultimatum they could never meet and then invade. I fail to see the "give and take" in that.
US Demanding An "Occupation Agreement?"
I'm really sorry, I've tried to take into consideration your being a j-student at one of the 'biggies' by your own call-in GA no less, whatever. In any case, you are a student. But nevertheless, with this thread you have also proven that you are an asshat.
Really I'm sorry about that. See in the normal turn of events, you being a j-student and all, you would get that after less than 10 months in office, GW hadn't really dealt with foreign affairs. Actually, he had shown a marked indifference to such, easily enough discerned by an aware j-student-with a political bent. Easy to find out that many of his supporters were pretty upset with him, considering in the spring of the year before, al Queda had hit the USS Cole, an act of war that all discerning folks were dismayed that Clinton had brushed off. Then there was the Chinese taking our disabled plane. Again, people were dismayed that it was allowed to ride.
Now it took the magnitude of 9/11, a bit of overkill, pardon the real bad taste pun, to get his attention. That did do it though. Even with that, while Afghanistan came in October; Iraq waited until 3/03 to commence. Why? To try and deal with diplomacy. We shouldn't have bothered, would have been quicker to hit in 12/01.
