I haven't said too much about a pending invasion, but FWIW, I don't support the US and UK going forward with an invasion on their own. And even if authorized by the UN, I have my reservations.
Having said that, some questions come to mind:
Is the US actually dragging its feet on a possible invasion? Are the media and/or government making too much of these "deadline" dates? Is Colin Powell really the one calling the shots, much to the chagrin of Dubya and the Big Dick? Is the administration taking world opinion and US public opinion into more consideration than it seems? Why doesn't the administration dangle WW2 in front of France and Germany and call it a day? What does it matter if Germany doesn't support an invasion, since they can't really do shit militarily anyway, thanks in part to us? If the US and UK go off unilaterally, could it result in a backlash against us in the form of tariffs or embargoes, primarily by bigger countries like Japan?
I don't have the answers...merely questions for the big picture.
