-- "In any country there must be people who have to die. They are the sacrifices any nation has to make to achieve law & order." - Idi Dada Amin "Trying to eliminate Saddam, extending the ground war into an occupation of Iraq, would have violated our guideline about not changing objectives in midstream. .and would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. .We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect rule Iraq. .There was no viable 'exit strategy' we could see. .Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the United Nations' mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression that we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different -- and perhaps barren -- outcome." - Elected President Bush "Jonathan Ball" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Arrogant shitworm: put your stupid morally bankrupt > signature bullshit at the bottom of your worthless > post, where it belongs.

Remember to read your Constitution, the Court decisions (at least the concurring and dissenting Opinions; the actual decision is a bit much to digest), and an actual history of events. An understanding of the Congressional statutes regarding the Electoral College process would be helpful (much of this is discussed in the Opinions). Then get back to us. Dan
