#1 The pending agreement of the council of six was probably one of reasons the Turkish parliment voted the way they did. Actually, by not requiring Turkish help, the US will just look stronger. It would even be better to oust Saddam without Turkey or Kuwait help, however, that would have required some tough amphibious stuff.

#2 I have to say I was pretty P.O'd by that column in the WSJ last week. What are the Americans going to do, choose the Iraqi flag?? How much Islam is in our schools?

What in the bejeebus have they been doing for the past 20 years, sitting on their middle finger and spinning? Why don't they have a plan or at least a flag? It can't be that difficult.
