The Bush administration officials are making plans for a major invasion of Iraq that could come as early as this fall. The Bush administration feels that attacking Iraq and overthrowing Saddam Hussein is part of the campaign against terrorism and is needed to prevent Iraq's development of weapons of mass destruction.

The Bush Administration has failed to produce credible evidence that the Iraqi regime has any links whatsoever with Al Qaeda. None of the September 11 hijackers were Iraqi, no major figure in Al Qaeda is Iraqi, nor has any part of Al Qaeda's money trail been traced to Iraq.

A military overthrow of Saddam Hussein would require U.S. forces to occupy Iraq in hostile circumstances for quite some time. One of the goals of the Bush administration is to prevent the use of weapons of mass destruction. If attacked, what is stopping Saddam Hussein from using these weapons against the United States troops attacking, or even Israel? These weapons could be chemical or biological and can cause severe damage. ...
