Good points also, Carl. The only developing rationale I see for an attack is that the White House may be worried that if they don't follow-through on the bluster, it'll be perceived as weakness in Islamist circles, a calculation OBL has made after Reagan pulled troops from Lebanon, Bush backed off the RG in Desert Storm, and Clinton backed off Sudan.

The conflicting reports about Hussein's WMD's provides as much incentive to go to war as conflicting market analysts provide to go long on Worldcom stock.
