[QUOTE="Jerry Smith, post: 658686, member: 2568"] On our military patrols in their air-space... you can ban them from firing on unfriendly craft in their skies all you want to. The fact that they are ([i]of course[/i]) going to continue to do so doesn't indicate (to me, anyway) that they are planning a military offensive. Taking out their defenses before the invasion is definitely a good tactical move. If I were calling the shots militarily, I would have taken out those missile launchers too. The question is - would those launchers be there if we were not staging an invasion? Should we invade their country? Is there [i]any indication[/i] they are preparing for any offensive measures against us or our allies? It would be good to go back to the part of the conversation where you were pointing out their funding of terrorists in Palestine. If the reason for this war is to stop their funding of terrorism, why can't we come out and say so, give them an ultimatum similar to the one we gave Afghanistan, and if they fail to respond,then go to war? If the war is to stop terrorism, then it makes zero difference whether they are in compliance with resolution 1441. They could bring in the inspectors to watch them destroy every chemical or biological agent, all of the delivery systems for them, then take the country apart inch by inch looking for more, and it would make no difference if our reason for war is that they support Palestinian terrorists. Are WMD's the reason for war? If so, what other wars must we prepare for? Must we prepare for our defense when the world wages war to disarm us? [/QUOTE]
