Well, danged, ain't this something. Junior has sure Painted himself into the proverbial corner. All this huff and puff was 'sposed to get Saddam to just roll over. Saddam has to be loving all this. Who's controling whom?

Junior is going to go the United Nations wutgh his huff and puff act and pictures and blah, blah, blah and after the speech all the major media is gonna say what a onderfyl job he did and Doug will be telling us, "I told you so." Anf for a week or so we're gonna get a steady diet of Dumb Rumdfield doing his best huff and puff.

But as the smoke clears its going to be apparent, that inspite of all the comotion, that no actaul evidence was produced and Bush again will be painted into a corner. Problem is, Junior will have hust bombed Bagdad and...

Well, Junior does have one chance to salvage a place in history that isn't going to find his name on a list including Benedict Arnold, Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon and others. He can go before the United Nations and call for an Emergency Middle East Summit to deal with all the problems facing the Middle East. And yes, Saddam, Sharon and Arafat invitees. Yeah, he could signal that the US is now up to the task of providing the leadership role that the world expects of it. Sure, he'll ruffle a few feathers of some of the aging hawks who want to just kink one more butt before they go outm but heck with them. Sure, it's gonna mean that corporate America is going to have to retool thier planys toward human friendly profucts but, hey, that's long overdue...

Yeah, this is his only option to saty off the looser's list. Even if the US does win a hot wat against Iraq, it will pay many times over for its shallow victory as it will then have to fear terorist reprisals for the rest of all our lives, and our kids lives.

Does Bush have the courage to break the cycle? Who knows. We know he'd never figure it for himself, that's for sure...
