to be free to have a war when: 1) they've never planned one 2) never fought in one 3) never won one 4) can't pay for
one. There's a lot of folks paying for that war, but none of them are named wolfowitz, perle, rumsfeld. Jim
[/quote:c40876a48b] Once again..the Leftards step on their dicks in public. Shameful. "[W]e urge you, after
consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if
appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's
refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." -- From a letter signed by Joe Lieberman, Dianne
Feinstein, Barbara A. Milulski, Tom Daschle, & John Kerry among others on October 9, 1998 "This December will
mark three years since United Nations inspectors last visited Iraq. There is no doubt that since that time, Saddam
Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue
apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to refine delivery systems and is doubtless
using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer- range missiles that will threaten the United States and
our allies." -- From a December 6, 2001 letter signed by Bob Graham, Joe Lieberman, Harold Ford, & Tom Lantos
among others "Whereas Iraq has consistently breached its cease-fire agreement between Iraq and the United States,
entered into on March 3, 1991, by failing to dismantle its weapons of mass destruction program, and refusing to permit
monitoring and verification by United Nations inspections; Whereas Iraq has developed weapons of mass destruction,
including chemical and biological capabilities, and has made positive progress toward developing nuclear weapons
capabilities" -- From a joint resolution submitted by Tom Harkin and Arlen Specter on July 18, 2002 "Saddam's
goal ... is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction
programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed." -- Madeline Albright, 1998 "(Saddam) will
rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and some day, some way, I am certain he will use that arsenal again,
as he has 10 times since 1983" -- National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Feb 18, 1998 "Iraq made commitments
after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to
its agreement." -- Barbara Boxer, November 8, 2002 "The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of
1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retained some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has
since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capability. Intelligence reports also
indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons, but has not yet achieved nuclear capability." -- Robert Byrd, October
2002 "There's no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat... Yes, he has chemical and biological weapons. He's had
those for a long time. But the United States right now is on a very much different defensive posture than we were before
September 11th of 2001... He is, as far as we know, actively pursuing nuclear capabilities, though he doesn't have
nuclear warheads yet. If he were to acquire nuclear weapons, I think our friends in the region would face greatly
increased risks as would we." -- Wesley Clark on September 26, 2002 "What is at stake is how to answer the
potential threat Iraq represents with the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad's regime did use such weapons in the
past. Today, a number of evidences may lead to think that, over the past four years, in the absence of international
inspectors, this country has continued armament programs." -- Jacques Chirac, October 16, 2002 "The community
of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass
destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who
would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow." -- Bill Clinton in 1998 "In the four years since
the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological
weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary
to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible
events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his
capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in
that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well
affects American security." -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002 "I am absolutely convinced that there are
weapons...I saw evidence back in 1998 when we would see the inspectors being barred from gaining entry into a warehouse
for three hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks out." -- Clinton's Secretary of Defense William
Cohen in April of 2003 "Iraq is not the only nation in the world to possess weapons of mass destruction, but it is
the only nation with a leader who has used them against his own people." -- Tom Daschle in 1998 "Saddam
Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than
two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has
chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to
build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets
closer to achieving that goal." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002 "The debate over Iraq is not about politics. It
is about national security. It should be clear that our national security requires Congress to send a clear message to
Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass
destruction." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002 "I share the administration's goals in dealing with Iraq and its
weapons of mass destruction." -- Dick Gephardt in September of 2002 "Iraq does pose a serious threat to the
stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of
mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should
assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, 2002 "We are in possession of
what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity
for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." -- Bob Graham, December 2002 "Saddam Hussein
is not the only deranged dictator who is willing to deprive his people in order to acquire weapons of mass
destruction." -- Jim Jeffords, October 8, 2002 "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking
and developing weapons of mass destruction." -- Ted Kennedy, September 27, 2002 "There is no doubt that
Saddam Hussein's regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass
destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed." -- Ted Kennedy, Sept 27, 2002 "I will be voting to
give the president of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I
believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our
security." -- John F. Kerry, Oct 2002 "The threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real,
but as I said, it is not new. It has been with us since the end of that war, and particularly in the last 4 years we
know after Operation Desert Fox failed to force him to reaccept them, that he has continued to build those weapons. He
has had a free hand for 4 years to reconstitute these weapons, allowing the world, during the interval, to lose the
focus we had on weapons of mass destruction and the issue of proliferation." -- John Kerry, October 9, 2002
"(W)e need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know
the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to
miscalculation. ...And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for
weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one
voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of
mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War." -- John
Kerry, Jan 23, 2003 "We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and
stability of the region. He has ignored the mandates of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction
and the means of delivering them." -- Carl Levin, Sept 19, 2002 "Every day Saddam remains in power with
chemical weapons, biological weapons, and the development of nuclear weapons is a day of danger for the United
States." -- Joe Lieberman, August, 2002 "Over the years, Iraq has worked to develop nuclear, chemical and
biological weapons. During 1991 - 1994, despite Iraq's denials, U.N. inspectors discovered and dismantled a large
network of nuclear facilities that Iraq was using to develop nuclear weapons. Various reports indicate that Iraq is
still actively pursuing nuclear weapons capability. There is no reason to think otherwise. Beyond nuclear weapons, Iraq
has actively pursued biological and chemical weapons.U.N. inspectors have said that Iraq's claims about biological
weapons is neither credible nor verifiable. In 1986, Iraq used chemical weapons against Iran, and later, against its own
Kurdish population. While weapons inspections have been successful in the past, there have been no inspections since the
end of 1998. There can be no doubt that Iraq has continued to pursue its goal of obtaining weapons of mass
destruction." -- Patty Murray, October 9, 2002 "As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly
aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam
Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in
the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." -- Nancy Pelosi, December 16, 1998
"Even today, Iraq is not nearly disarmed. Based on highly credible intelligence, UNSCOM [the U.N. weapons
inspectors] suspects that Iraq still has biological agents like anthrax, botulinum toxin, and clostridium perfringens in
sufficient quantity to fill several dozen bombs and ballistic missile warheads, as well as the means to continue
manufacturing these deadly agents. Iraq probably retains several tons of the highly toxic VX substance, as well as sarin
nerve gas and mustard gas. This agent is stored in artillery shells, bombs, and ballistic missile warheads. And Iraq
retains significant dual-use industrial infrastructure that can be used to rapidly reconstitute large-scale chemical
weapons production." -- Ex-Un Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter in 1998 "There is unmistakable evidence that
Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next
five years. And that may happen sooner if he can obtain access to enriched uranium from foreign sources -- something
that is not that difficult in the current world. We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress
Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." -- John Rockefeller, Oct 10, 2002 "Saddam’s
existing biological and chemical weapons capabilities pose a very real threat to America, now. Saddam has used chemical
weapons before, both against Iraq’s enemies and against his own people. He is working to develop delivery systems like
missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles that could bring these deadly weapons against U.S. forces and U.S. facilities in
the Middle East." -- John Rockefeller, Oct 10, 2002 "Whether one agrees or disagrees with the
Administration’s policy towards Iraq, I don’t think there can be any question about Saddam’s conduct. He has
systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he
disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do. He lies and
cheats; he snubs the mandate and authority of international weapons inspectors; and he games the system to keep buying
time against enforcement of the just and legitimate demands of the United Nations, the Security Council, the United
States and our allies. Those are simply the facts." -- Henry Waxman, Oct 10, 2002 The aim of untold millions is to
be free to do exactly as they choose and for someone else to pay when things go wrong. In the past few decades, a
peculiar and distinctive psychology has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence, and admirable
stoicism that carried the English through the war years .. It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses,
complaints, and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been as swift and complete as the collapse
of British power. Theodore Dalrymple,

[/quote:e85e72d865] You can quote all the politicians you want, but you know very well that most politicians, whether
conservative, liberal, or moderate, will say what they think is safe and popular, even if it's not true or moral. All
of us should support the president, whether or not we voted for him or whether or not we agree with his politics, and we
should also trust him simply because he is our president. However the president has the responsibility to always be
truthful with us, and George Bush failed in that duty. Before the war, he told us many falsehoods about Iraq. They
weren't lies at the time because he truly believed them, but by doing so he proved he was too incompetent to understand
the facts available to him and make wise decisions. And in the years since the war, he has continued to insist that most
of those falsehoods are still true, which only proves him to be either a liar or the most stupid or delusioned leader
our nation has ever had. Therefore this president no longer deserves our respect.

Posted by ^TahirKanch^ on Tue Jun 06, 2006 4:03 AM Post subject: Re: How do I setup a studio/workshop for Hydrofluoric Acid E
Hi Moonraker, Thanks for your input. As far as the name, it is half middleeastern half indian. I am from Karachi.
Glass (Now Architectural Glass Art since 1998) is in my family business since 30 years. I learnt glass art desgining
from my family in India and have practiced it for 4 years in Karachi. website's under construction I really didn't want
to give it out yet but it's www.glassnglass.com, For now the only work on the site that I have done is:
http://glassnglass.com/images/efurni9.jpg Since you are skeptical you might argue that I haven't done this and that's
your issue but still I want to add that I used an acid etching technique here also known as French Emboss for this Table
top. Multi-staged (dipped and washed several times) polishing to achieve different levels of depth and the clear
finished design work. The surface never gets dirty like the sandblasted surfaces do. The result is a smooth, plain
finish and is only paper deep. But after playing with textures along with the matt and glossy finishes plus combining
that technique with fusing bevelled crystals onto the glass in my opinion becomes a priceless jewel after it's creation.
I can work with numerous textures which all produce an unbelievable effect after proper lighting and provides privacy as
well as showers ample of light into the room through the translucent textures. This is my baby. I love doing this. I
want to do this safely and be compliant with all the regulations before I start. As far as the people who wanted to
learn how to fly only for the sake of hurting anyone, terrorism for that matter were insane fundamentalists, SOB's or
whatever you want to call them I totally agree with you on that one. Your taste and your preference not to share
information is your right I have no issues with that. Being polite is always nice but I do understand your frustration.
If I were a person who hadn't been to asia or didn't have any friends from a different culture I'd probably be like you
as well. So I have no hard feelings. I guess I have talked too much about this topic, which is totally off the point and
a waste of my time and yours. We both could be doing something valuable rather than talking about this. Just so to let
you understand: *****I am trying to figure out a very safe and 'in-compliance' setup to work with the acid here NOT
asking around on how to use it and absolutely DO NOT have and can never have any intention of even thinking about
thinking to hurt anyone with anything.***** And yes I am new here. I never ever imagined this discussion would become
so useful to me. I have never used any discussion boards, blogs or anything like that. I was just tired of doing my
research on web searching google, alta vista, ask jeeves etc. and I just gave this a try as a last resort. I expected
nothing out of this but I am really amazed to how active, prompt and useful this discussion board has been. I really
appreciate all ya'll's input in this especially Bob and Ed you guys were really helpful and a Big Thank You to you both.
I hope that cleared your concerns Moonraker and others' as well. I could have ignored your message but since you were
the second person to mention this I felt I should share my thoughts here. Regards, Tahir. Moonraker wrote:

Any help would be very much appreciated!! :) Tahir. I've been thinking about this post since it first appeared on the

on acid etching, I'd just be damned if I'd give any information about this deadly toxic material and how to use it to
some newbie on a usenet group. This all reminds me too much of a bunch of SOB's who wanted to learn to fly about 5
years ago. It seems to me that IF you were a "for-real" glass artisan, you'd have some previous posts
