I am doing that, Andy. As part of doing that, I read Plan of Attack by
Bob Woodward. That is where I get the information that there was
really never any other plan. You should consider a look :)

And hate... you have been hanging around with Sam too much :) Just
because I think Bush is of limited intelligence, willing to bend the
truth to the screaming point and a hypocrite who is allowing himself
to be used for his buddies' profit doesn't mean I *hate* the man. Do I
think he is dangerous in the Oval Office though, yes,absolutely.

How do you know that the only plan that exists is to attack Iraq?  This is not
something that should be public knowledge.  And planning is not war.

While I am trying to understand Kerry, do the same for Bush.  Take off your
"hate him" glasses and start viewing his actions in a balanced light.  You do
yourself a disservice to let anyone push you to such extents that you loose
all objectivity.

I am done with this thread.

  Plans are good. However when the plan is to attack Iraq and only to
  attack Iraq it begins to look like the answer to a lot of things to
  which it is not in fact an answer.

  Also, isn't there something in the Constitution about Congress
  declaring war... be nice if they were at least informed if not
  consulted :)

  Dana,
  I am not sure where you are going with this.  Would you prefer we as a
country
  didn't plan?   My guess and hope is that the military has attack plans for
  most potential actions out there.  After Kuwait, we should have had an
ongoing
  plan in case Sadaam went astray again.  To not have such plans ready would
be
  negligence.

  It is also my guess that these plans are not regularly reviewed with the
  President.  When the President states this, is it possible that he meant
that
  he is not planning one?  How would your perspective change if you found out
  that the plan pre-dates Bush?

  I continue to see a bunch of people whom only own a hammer and therefore
every
  screw they see looks like a nail.

  Also, it was my hope that this thread had died.  Then there you go again,
  jumping in late and awakening the dead <g>

  Andy

    how can you abuse something that gives you almost unlimited power?
    Remember this statement comes from the administration of a man who
    eight months into planning the invasion of Iraq (at least -- more if
    you believe those who say planning predated 9/11) was still
    maintaining that there was no plan of attack on his desk. Ya. It was
    on Cheney's desk. Or maybe Rice's.

    Uh huh. IMO, ust because she was part of the Clinton administration
    doesn't make her automatically right. Waco, clipper chip, etc.

    Yeah, that's right. Snatch and grab of US citizens and holding them
    without reprsentation or even admitting who they were wasn't an abuse
    of power and totally unconstitutional. No, not at all. Oh wait, not an
    "abuse of the Patriot Act". Well yeah, maybe that's true.
