is driven by political calculations.


I think my hypothesis that Bush will go after the Dems in Congress to commit on Iraq is making more and more sense. Bush has a "Win, Win, Win", IMO.

1) If they support him, it takes the issue off the table.

2) If they don't support him, it leaves them open to a "Patriotism" charge.

3) If they "Waffle", makes them look indecisive.

"Kitchen Politics" all around, but effective.
