Ok , I feel double-dog-dared , and have never done this sort of thing , but if you're still willing to make the bet , I'll= agree to Gary Triest's criteria in message , March 23 : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lpny_discuss/message/13429 . I'll take $500 . As you pointed out in a note to Bonnie , "they are, after all, the principal reason we are fighting." But let me include a quote from Harry Browne's column today= from http://www.AmericanLibertyFoundation.org : All Hail the Liberators : Bury the Past And we certainly wouldn't want to remind anyone that this whole crusade began not as a quest to liberate the Iraqi people, but because George Bush claimed that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and was threatening the U.S. (Remember the daily speeches to staged audiences in which George Bush shouted "Saddam Hussein will disarm or we will disarm him!" and was greeted with enthusiastic cheering?) No weapons have been found. No laboratories have been found. No evidence has been found. And I doubt that George Bush ever really believed they would be found. That's why the rationale for killing people changed as regularly as George Bush changes his military windbreakers. If you still want to bet , let's get it on . I look forward to your check . -- =A0Bob Armstrong -- http://CoSy.com -- 212-285-1864 Ultimate Computing Environment : =A0http://cosy.com/K/CoSy.htm A WTC vision : http://cosy.com/CoSy/ConicAllConnect/ =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A02003/04/12 12:34:05 AM
