Greg London says, (#127 above):

WE PASSED RESOLUTION 1441, and when Iraq complied with inspections, we changed the goalposts, we gave Saddam 48 hours to step down, AND THEN WE INVADED.

But this is not strictly true.

The 48 hour ultimatum was delivered at 0401 Baghdad time on March 18th 2003. The US began bombing Iraq at 0530 Baghdad time on March 19th, with an attack on a site where Saddam was thought to be staying, 25.5 hours later.

If you give someone a 48 hour deadline to step down it's usually considered good form to allow them the entire 48 hours.

Perhaps Mr. Bush was worried that Saddam might actually step down and where would he get an excuse to invade then?

Incidentally, in the speech in which Mr. Bush gave the deadline, he said:

Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.

Mr. Bush was deliberately lying when he said it; he knew at that very moment that Iraq did not in fact possess nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons.

What we are to understand from Genesis is this: a) God made everything, and b) everything is (of its nature) good.

#9 I know it's grammatically incorrect, but "I delete comments I don't agree with" seems punchier to me.

"I delete stupid comments" is punchier still.
