Iraq Taq - Americans are

Iraq Taq - Americans are responding to Bush's appeal on Iraq.

So, it seems, are the French.

So let's go over this: The Democrats claim that we mustn't molest Hussein without:

• Multilateral support - the UK, Kuwait, Italy, Spain, and now France count for that, I'd say
• UN Approval - the resolution in Congress will help take care of that.
• Proof of an Al-Quaeda/Iraq connection - there are plenty of circumstantial connections. And one wonders if the attacks on the Marines in Kuwait (blamed on Al-Quaeda) and the French Tanker off the Yemeni coast (which was ascribed to a Cole-style suicide-boat attack) as the tensions build don't at least circumstantially back this notion up

So - what'll the next excuse be?

Well, suddenly the Democrats are expressing boundless concern for the welfare of our troops. One wonders where that concern was when the Democrats were gutting defense spending, (especially operations and training budgets) and the Clinton administration's sixties-bred contempt for the military.

Glad to see they're so concerned. Finally.
