Then you have no understanding of statistics. Companies like Gallup do. They can state a +/- 3% certainty with complete confidence.
I have an understanding of statistics. +/- 3% still leaves us with a large % of people who are misinformed.
Sorry, I was not aware that he publicly condonned the attack.

That might be condoning the action - it is not acccepting that he had anything to do with it - quite the reverse in fact......................
AQ was closely allied with the Taliban. We knoiw what happened to them
AQ has been given chemcial weapons recipes by Iraq as well as training bases, medical care for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (one of AQ's subcommanders) and Baghdad is the base of the AQ cell responsible for the ricin poisoning plots, which were targeting the UK, France, Italy, Spain and I believe Germany.
Added to Iraqs support for the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, Hizballah (blew up our Marines & embassy in Lebanon), Hamas etc. it's the concerted opinion of the US that the current Iraqi regieme is expendable.
Our policy is that the friend of our enemy is our enemy as well.
And that's definitive? I think not. That Zarqawi and his cell(s) are active in Baghdad is enough for me. They couldn't be without the support of the knowledge and support of the police state, which means Saddam.

Saddam stopped playing Kissy-Kissy and the States wants the oil. It can ride in post 9/11 fervour...... Thats wat a lot of people think.... I of, course wouldnt comment!
Vice President Dick cheney receives 1 million a year from from an Oil company that is bidding for contracts on post iraq. Why can the government get away with this blatent conflict of interest when they preech to their employees about how bad this is.

So your saying that the ONLY Reason we are going after Iraq is because of Oil? I would agree that its prob one of the top 5 reasons, but not ONLY reason. You know Iraq has broken what is 18 different UN resolutions? How many times do you let someone "break the law" before you put them in jail?
Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?
