The only reason we haven't attacked Iraq to this point was a low inventory of our smart ordinance and the toll the 100 degree-plus Summer heat would exact on U.S. personnel with their special anti-agent protective gear.

Sorry, but you are dreaming.

Dreaming about the conditions necessary for a quick and effective strike against Iraq is a non-starter. Now, Salma Hayek in barely protective gear and requiring salvation from all that is hurtful and not-hot, that's acceptable dreaming. My recount is pretty much the accepted truth among my many Quidam and Scott Ritter type deep-cover contacts. They're deep cover in the temp worker killing fields of the Old Navy returns warehouse, sure, but they are unknown and clueless. That's good enough for a gig with MSNBC.

Iraq is going down, if you didn't see that in George W. Bush's eyes from the 60 minutes show last night, you probably go through life never knowing what hit you.

CBS: "What was your first objective when you met with ..."
W: "Victory."
CBS: Many of the managers of the Gulf War, Brent Skowcroft, George Schultz .... blah blah." Bush gave props to the old guard, and Pelley persisted in squishing up the message and commitment. Au contraire:
W: "The policy of this government is regime change in Iraq."

George W. Bush had a laser beam eyedocking with Pelley. That means ... done deal. Anyone who has worked for, met or had the honor to observe men and women of unique success have seen that look. It's Steve Ballmer telling his engineering brass "The project is done by the 10th. Thanks folks". It's Jack Welch telling his business heads ... "15% profit growth is assumed." It's Walt Disney telling his animators and sound guys ... "The "Cricket Musical" segment will fixed for good tonight, no discussion." It's Tiger Woods teeing off the 18th at Augusta with a one stroke lead.

Bank it!

LMAO!!! Bush is that damn good IMO. You don't get that job by being a Jabroni.

That guy is convinced that President Bush is being blackmailed by the presence of anthrax already in this country. Up to a point I could understand the theory, but I do not think we would be pressing forward with all of this stuff if such were the case.

Besides, I watched the interview and the two speeches. That wasn't acting. He's the real deal, and he means what he says. If he wanted to delay this, he wouldn't have been so confrontational at the UN. He could have given a nice "please help us" speech and let the UN do their ususal delaying tactics.

Who know? Maybe Hussein did try to blackmail us. But this is the wrong President to try that with. As you said, the look in his eyes told the tale.
