It could also be argued that no one, except a few folks in Bush's inner circle, actually thought he was evil enough to actually go beyond the bluff. Even though I marched in just about every anit-war demonstartion in DC prior to the invasion, deep down inside I was saying to myself, "Man, he really can't be this evil". I always figgured that he'd figure some way out of the bluff.

I don't blame Saddam in that in the run up to the invasion Saddam did everything that was asked of him except leave, which I'm sure he would have thought to be a hopeless trap.

No, I put the blame 100% on the Bushites. Not 99.9%....

Bush made up his mind on this inasion the day that the Supreme Court stopped the recount in Florida...
