"As President Bush edges closer to a decision on whether to take up arms against Saddam Hussein..."

1. George W is so busy vacationing, treadmilling and clearing brush I wonder how long it will take him to actually make a decision.
2. I think there is a problem shaking this all down into a "one-pager" for him. I fear he is not reading the SI FADG and is not covering the issues as closely as we are.
3. The media and the country are spending their time covering war, rumors or war and parsing the constitution. I must give his mandarins full credit for managing the news cycle. No time for questions (let alone responses) about Halliburton, Dresser, Harken, Aloha Oil, Arbusto, or the economy, the stock market and the deficit. Also no coverage of the weakening and "interpretaion" of the legislation covering corporate governance, medical records privacy and the environment.
4. For this reason I am more and more comfortable will accepting the fact that we are NOT going to preemptively invade the sovereign nation of Iraq.
5. W's canned speech about the "evil-doers","not-if-but-when", and the Axisssss-of-evil"is sounding kinda thin. All this Iraq invasion talk is a DIVERSION so he has sound-bites he can handle that make him look strong and powerful.
BWDIK?
