An inquisitive Sheldon Richman has posed Some Nagging Questions for the Administration:
If Saddam Hussein’s program to develop weapons of mass destruction is so secret, how did Mr. Bush get aerial photos of all those large above-ground buildings that allegedly house Iraq’s nuclear program? Why isn’t Saddam afraid that those expensive facilities could easily be reduced to splinters by Israel or the United States?
Is Mr. Bush preparing to forcibly thwart the secessionist movements that his attack on Iraq might stimulate? In his speech in Cincinnati the other night, he promised to rebuild “a unified Iraq” after the war. But many Iraqis don’t want a unified Iraq. The administration has assured Turkey, which fears that the Iraqi Kurds will secede and invite the Turkish Kurds to do the same, that the United States will hold Iraq together. Could the United States end up suppressing rebellious Kurds and Shiites who no longer wish to be part of Iraq?
Inquiring minds want to know. Don't all you Bushies run to answer at once…
