Yeah, Bush may allow the Democrats to ape on about the WMDs at the convention before dropping the bomb on them, however, the Democrats will also be talking about other things, too. Since it's not Howard Dean they're putting out there I don't think WMDs are going to be a really huge issue at the Convention. Who knows, they may not even mention them at all.

This is why I think doing it right before - or even during - would be more likely, because the objective is to deprive them of any press coverage as much as possible. The convention is when they will be rallying their support, so you want to distract the media from covering it as much as possible.

Afterall, Bill Clinton didn't wait until after the impeachment hearings to bomb Iraq.

I like the idea of during the convention. That will take the wind out of their sails.

The more the Dems remain silent about WMDs, the more likely it is that we have the evidence, that it's circulated among the intelligence committees, but hasn't been made public yet.
