I agree with your summary but I don't think it was a grand plan.

I regret that Bush and Cheney painted themselves into a corner. Why couldn't they have talked to Congress and the Allies first, before saying loudly and often "We are coming to get you."? We would have looked ever so much smarter.
I think the way this has unraveled on an international stage is very bad for America.

And on top of this everybody keeps repeating: "The President hasn't decided yet."

Maybe if he spent less time on the treadmill and raising money for Republican campaigns he would have more time to study.

I truly regret seeing the President of the United States with his eyes in the headlights saying "Saddam has been crawfishing, thumbing his nose."
Now it is about "disarmament" not to be confused with invasion or weapons inspections or regime change.
It looked pathetic.

Having said all this the Mandarins have figured a way to wiggle out with a win.They are controlling the news cycle and the November Campaign. If the Democrats can figure a way to articulate a sound bite the nation can digest to counter this Republican mess it will be a miracle.

I am really unhappy about the way George Bush's learning curve has diminished the Presidency.
