IMHO, a most reliable recurrence with this administration is that Bush is consistently underestimated. The fact that no one is expecting him to topple Saddam any time soon may be a good indication to the contrary. Just my two cents...

Saddam dies and New York and DC are history. That's what the anthrax letters mean. We are in a MAD posture w.r.t. Iraq. That's why we've been getting the run around for seven months on the origin and significance of those letters. That's why Bush rattles his saber at Iraq, but an attack is off the table. This is so obvious, a child could figure it out. All you have to do is set aside foolish pride, put down the rose-tinted spectacles, and look at the facts in the face. Something nobody in the commentariat, with the possible exception of Krauthammer, seems willing to do, apparently.
