Bush's Excuse
Well, the weapons inspectors in Iraq have now given George the "W" all the justification he needs to go invade Iraq. If this were a trial in the American justice system, he wouldn't even have enough evidence for an indictment, but Bush has gone long past that, straight to the sentencing.

I don't mean to be an apologist for Saddam Hussein, but for the time being I don't see how you could argue beyond a reasonable doubt that these chemical weapons casings are other than what Iraq claims they are: leftovers from their weapons programs in the late 1980's, which are no secret.

This whole process is so ugly. Whatever the final report of the weapons inspectors are, it will be more than enough to satisfy the Bush administration, but it won't be enough to convince a majority of the U.N. Security Council.

It seems to me that the only way "W" will be able to garner the overwhelming support of the American people and the governments of Europe is if he actually shares some details of the evidence that he claims to have. Up until now, he keeps telling us that he has convincing evidence, but he has certainly never shared it. I, for one, do not trust that man.
