Those alumilium tubes had little or nothing to do with manufacture of a nuclear weapon. I don't remember the finding of armed missiles either, only ancient decaying artillery shell.

After further manipulation by your media and (god forbid if bush is still in office) bullied into the whims of the administration of the day, probably even more stupid than after the first. It's going from badly planned to boneheaded to plain old stupid. I'm hoping falluja is the turning point, if they'd gone into falluja even the British most likely would have pulled out of Iraq.

Year after year we've seen the hamfisted stomping around of a wounded elephant trying to stamp on bees, the net result so far is to only give it's enemies yet more ammunition and help recruit a new generation and a new country of angered fellows into the fold. I hate to think what the US would do after another attack, but however stupid it may be you can bet it won't solve the problem.

Lets face it, this isn't about Al-Queda anymore, all you hear about now are 10,000 little groups of angry people purported 'linked to Al-Queda', it's a meme and thanks to the US, it's growing fast.
