Some random thoughts as we approach the possiblity of war:

The U.S. Department of Defense has declared that Saddam Hussein probably did not gas the Kurds--the evidence indicates it was Iran who did it.

In order to strike us with his missiles, Saddam Hussein will have to buy some unbelievably large rubber bands.

Most of the September 11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia.

The U.S. trade deficit is the largest in history.

The Patriot Act, and its spin-off, Patriot Act II, destroy the privacy granted to U.S. citizens in the Constitution.

Tom Kean, the director of the alleged September 11 "investigation," is a business partner of two men who are named in the lawsuit brought by the families of individuals who were killed on September 11. Both are suspected as having ties to Al Qaeda. One of them is Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law.

The commander-in-chief was not legally elected to office.

Kenneth Lay has not been indicted.

The thoughts aren't really that random, are they?
