One suspects lots of reasons, but one might be that Military spending tends to be good for the economy.

yeah, or maybe the whole gung-ho nature of the US military at the moment caused them to massively screw up.

your statement is true AR, but consider that the US had been tracking the ship since it left port. i think its reasonable to assume that the spanish intercepted the ship at the request of the US. of course i can't prove that, but why does a spanish ship stop another ship in international waters, then systematically searches it, when the only obvious reason is that they painted over their own name plate?
doesn't add up.
- qo.

Guess we'll have to see how that one plays out.
I'd love to get solid evidence for exactly why we're attacking Iraq, I simply can't see a reason for it that makes economic or political sense.
Show me one post where you took the Pro-USA side. I haven�t seen one from either of you.
Also, you need to back up your statements with fact, and stop twisting facts and other�s words to suit your taste. It is uncouth, and so easily flamed that it makes you look foolish
