> If the war go forwards Bush loses, what we see is what is presented. Bush has already lost. Resorting to violence on a domestic or international level is imprudent. Even in the home, moderation and mediation is the rule. Drunk on joy-juice or on power doesn't give any one an excuse to resort to unreasonable force to solve any problems. Shrub's got a real problem IF he doesn't follow through: he's got about a million or so voters who represent the only audience in front of whom he can give one of his pep talks. Compare any talk of his at any base and the talk at the AEI or last night's puppet walk. Add dependents and relatives and friends and that number goes WAYYYY up. "Hurry up and wait!" may be the military's motto but I've seen people who've spent time in the sand box and there wasn't a whole lot of excitement about the experience. To go for no reason results in a gripe or two. CNN wasn't everywhere. Compound this with all the $$$ that have gone into this adventure and should he go or not go, it's $$$ down the drain while the domestic economy is suffering. They may have planned this little escapade while the economy was hot back in 1998 and now the utilities have been cut off. He's lost the element of surprise -- nationally and internationally. If this had been done on Oct 11th, 2001, who'd have gotten excited? Plus, I tend to agree with the person who pointed out that to go counter to the UN at this point puts B&B in the same bed with SH (and one of HIS near west neighbours), all of whom could be found to be in material breech of the UN. But like one of his pals, who gives a shit about the UN as long as there's a lot of pork on the negotiating table? Not wanting to seem to be disagreeable but I think he's realised that he's shot his wad and HE (like SH) has little more to lose at this point. According to Janis, he's now "free".
