Bush won't make the speech too convincing. This will be calibrated to keep the ball rolling without getting everybody up in arms. It will be more of the usual pabulum (Saddam used gas on his own people, Saddam could have nuclear weapons in six months, yada, yada, yada). Bush has his own schedule for removing Saddam, cognizant of the tools at Saddam's disposal to retaliate in the final showdown, our current unpreparedness to meet that threat, and a realistic time frame to something about it. Figure this will be timed to climax about six months before the next presidential election.
