First, when you think sure hit, remember the 2 sure hits on Saddam during the war.

NBC News' military sources said the operation was "airtight." Obviously, this is not guarantee that it will work. But that's not a downside.

Second, deciding not to take an early strike into a soverign country because it might reduce our liklihood of convincing people they should join in a coalition is a fundamentally different animal then not doing it because you want to say he's still there.

Why? Who would be upset if this terrorist was bumped off? And we were already violating Iraq's sovereignty with the no-fly zone and the bombing therein.

Ty, your point is his group mostly killed Iraqis, not Americans. When you say mass-murdered, keep in mind he doesn't equal Uday- the college years. But if it was proven that the hypo of my 1st paragraph were true, I'd be pissed.

No Uday, but word up.

Note also, when we did blow up a car with a guy who was part of the Cole bombing, in Yeman, the liberals on this board were shocked that W would go so far as to act in a way that does not give the man who killed dozens of US sailors due process. If W had okay'd the assination of this guy, would you have brought up due process isssues?

I don't personally remember being shocked -- maybe you confused Atticus and me? We look an awful lot alike. I think the Due Process thing came up because one of the Yemeni types in that car was a U.S. citizen.
