[The Great Satan]

Bush is in no hurry to take on Saddam and his anthrax sleepers. The whole UN thing will kill another few months, with Bush looking like a tough guy the whole time. This is by design.

Bush is in no hurry to take on Saddam and his anthrax sleepers.

Your cynicism is grounded in ignorance. Bush is not afraid of anthrax attacks on U.S. soil. (No one in the administration is especially afraid of anthrax attacks anymore.)

Nukes are a whole 'nother matter. But the nuclear threat is why we need to advance the timetable, and the POTUS knows that. He will not wait forever on the U.N.

I really think that you are misreading this. The president has his own timetable, the UN and the Congress stuff is just for show AND they all asked ( begged ) for this. President Bush is a lot shrudder, than you give him credit for.

I have a new theory.

Kofi has been FURIOUS since Bush slapped him down during the UN speech.

He has actively worked to get ANY agreement that Bush is not a part of.

Now he has this one, which he will use to ram his own agenda through, inserting inspectors, while smugly acting like Bush didn't know what he was talking about.

Bush backs off, after much rumblings about 'yet another chance for Saddam not to comply."

Inspectors go in, give Iraq their seal of approval.

Of course, then something happens.

And the UN is, for all intents and purposes, destroyed forever and ever.
