If Iraq has such banned armaments, why wasn't your President able to make a convincing case to the international body politic and build a global consensus backing his administrations position? Where were the concrete, unequivocal, 'smoking-gun' intelligence reports that proved Iraq was housing such weapons? Why didn't we see for this administration an Adlai Stevenson-like moment at the UN in 1962, when the then Secretary of State presented satellite photos clearly showing Soviet forces installing missile batteries in Cuba?

This administration clearly lacks the diplomatic saavy and experience to accomplish even what Bush Senior accomplished in 1991 when his administration was able to build the coalition for Desert Storm. Dubya couldn't even meet what was expected of a mediocre leader of the most powerful country in the world. This administration has alienated three members of the UN Security Council. Global public opinion is against this administration and its foreign policy aims. Its imperious posturing are adding fuel to the fire of radical, anti-Western forces who will no doubt have a new bevy of recruits from those people who are opposed to this war.

Let's face it: your President is a divider, not a uniter.
