Tranny, I thought the number one goal was to weed out al Qaeda terrorists and terminate that organization.

It was and still is I imagine.
I do recall the speech as saying the "axis of evil" which included the 3 i mentioned. It may very well of come some time after that intial speech however.
I think where you and i are butting heads is the "al queda terrorists vs all terrorists"...i dont draw a differance between the two.
Unannounced offensive attacks against unsuspecting targets is terrorism in my mind...doesnt matter who is driving the car.

As to Hussein being a terrorist, I see him as no more of a terrorist than Yassir Arrafat. Since Arrafat has dined at the Whitehouse I would have taken that to mean that Heads of State don't qualify. If that does not hold true, then Hussein is indeed a terrorist, and do is every American President who has ever given an executive order to drop a bomb on anyone in the past 50 years

good...we agree. Arafat is a terrorist as well. he gives the nod to suicide bombers just as Hussein did.
Its pretty clear, to me anyhow, anyone who finances or encourages young men and women to strap bombs on their bodies and blow the bejeezuz out of a bus full of Israelis just going to and from work...is a terrorist.
Its also clear to me that a guy who pays to train other young men to hijack and fly planes into a building full of innocent people is also a terrorist.
I dont see the differance between any of them. None were "elected" as leaders in an open vote for one thing and all have one common goal..the eradication of an entire race, and the destruction of a way of life they dont like.
The USA, for all its mistakes and warts and whatever else you want to label as...NEVER intentionally targeted building or busses or boats full of non-military people as targets for attacks.
There is a huge huge differance that you simply fail to admit.
