With no or little consequences and death to only him and his
direct guard and troops that *might* be enough. But this is far
from the case.

This is nothing but empty rhetoric. The latest polls show that
70% of the American people believe we should not use military
means at this time, that we should give more time to inspections
and diplomatic means. Of course you can make your empty
accusations against them also. But at some point you really
need to notice that a great deal of the world and of US people
do not believe this is the correct course of action. Call them
whatever names you will, the numbers are against you.

He hasn't been able to do much of squat with that oil for the
last decade in case you missed it. There are many murderous
despotic tyrants in the world. Why do we go after this one in
particular at this time? Are you sure oil and positioning US
forces don't have at least something to do with it?
