Summary:It is now clear that the White House administration just does not get it. We have just been threatened, again, by [Osama] bin Laden and the administration's response is, "See, we told you there was a connection between bin Laden and [Saddam Hussein] - let's go get Hussein." While our president tries to convince the world of an alliance between al-Qaida and Iraq, he misses the bigger picture. While [George W. Bush] sends our troops to surround the Iraqi border, bin Laden walks free. While he wastes precious time trying to convince the world that we should spend our every hour and penny fighting Iraq, bin Laden threatens our way of life. Yes, Iraq should not possess nuclear weapons, but if 9/11 showed us anything, it is that one does not need nuclear weapons to hurt us. And as far as I can tell, Hussein has not tried to hurt us on our own shores. Stop with this Hussein nonsense and get back to searching for bin Laden. That's what we all want. So let's get going.
