Senator Byrd made a winning argument although the vote was "lost."
What is Bush up to? To mount a conventional war against Iraq 
would hand al Qaeda a huge victory, polarize the US populace 
into two irreconcilable factions and earn the unending enmity 
of the entire world. Clearly the job of "regime change" in Iraq 
is a job for DIA and not for the conventional military and 
according to sources, this is underway. Mr. Bush has a terrible 
record: flaky business deals before and during his 
Governorship, lies about Social Security and tax cuts, hid in 
Nebraska all day 9/11/01 . . . and now this.
He must be either an incredibly obtuse ideologue or a boundless liar. Both?
This is truly off topic unless we're seeing an impotent Brock 
Vond. I'm really curious and there is no point in asking the 
irrelevant Left or the other side, whatever it's calling itself these days.
