In case anyone failed to notice the talk of war, all by itself, is forcing up the price of oil. Wonder who benefits from that?

Tony Blair has issued a "dossier" describing the fears of Saddam's ability to deploy WMD in some detail, but again attributing the infomration to generalized intell without specifics.

Thing that bothers me is the grandstanding; if Bush says they got 'em and Saddam says "Bring in the inspectors" and Bush then says "You're just blowing smoke." Well,w here's that leave us?

And Teribus, don't put words in my mouth. You don't see a strategic path absent alliances in the area? Work it out from Jayne's. The capabilities are there. I qagree with you it will be a lot harder, more expensive and less popular without the United Nations front. But not impossible.

None of which means there _will_ be a war. Just that Bush is awful willing to act like he's gonna have one.

The jerk.
