President Bush has been on a course to forfeit the confidence of many of his supporters--perhaps even too many for him to be nominated in 2004. Or, if he is nominated, a third party may make it to become a second party, as we saw it happening in France. And once you've become a second party, it will be much easier subsequently to finish first.
If I had the choice between a Rat and a RINO, I would still prefer the RINO, but what I really want is a Gipper.
I was trying to tell you folks that there would be no invasion until the Winter of 2003. The tail just isn't there yet. Especially the JDAM production lines. It will take until the end of June to get them up to 3500 JDAMs produced a month. JDAM's, and plenty of them, have to be plentiful and on hand. Then there's Infantry conditioning to take into account.
If the brass says they need some time to put this together, then I'll go with their recommendations. But when George W. Bush says he has no war plans "on my desk", that tells me everything I need to know.
Some people, Andrew Sullivan included, need to watch how they react to planned leaks.
Be Seeing You,
