The real smoking gun line from the SOTUS:
" We will consult. But let there be no misunderstanding: If Saddam Hussein does not fully disarm, for the safety of our people and for the peace of the world, we will lead a coalition to disarm him."

Now what does that say to you? Here is what it says to me.
"we will consult" = we will go through the sham UN process
"but let there be no misunderstanding" = bottom line
"if Saddam Husssein doesnot fully disarm" = he has WMDs
"for the safety of our people" = Saddam is a threat to the US
"and for the peace of the world" = Saddam is a threat to the world
"we will lead a coaliton" = we will invade Iraq
"to disarm him." = to take away his WMDs

Am I wrong...but this is purely Bush's baby!

1. You and many others serve to highlight the failure of our "FreeP ress"
They will continue to repeat "16 words"

4. Kerry's been beating this thing to death
Kerry's whole gripe has been with Bush's nonexistent diplomacy and failure to bring the international community into the process, as well as explain just what the process IS!
