Thanks for the article.
It was a good and interesting read.

But, unfortunately, the writer was probably a self-serving asshole, a born sycophant or paid propagandist or all of these combined into one.

He gave Bush too much credit. He ignored the fact that Dubya has had the help of think-tanks and advisors galore of every ilk and description.

One cannot help but think that Iraq is apparently "capitulating" to Bush's demands because some secret deals (read bribery and whatnot have been afoot and made). And all this was "achieved" for the sake of lifting the markets and the economy!!!! which is of paramount importance in Bush's agenda. If Iraq remains tough, then it's war and this will give a fillip to the U.S. economy! Now that Iraq has "capitulated", folks feel better about the future. This can only be good for the economy. BTW, the markets in Asia have turned upwards at the news of Iraq agreeing to inspections.

There is always more than what meets the eye, my friend! Things aren't always what they seem to be. Oh yea! It's a "victory" for Bush, all right.

P.S. Part or all of the bribery might have come from some Arab countries, including Iran. Iraq's neighbours certainly would not like the horrors of war to revisit their part of the world. Maybe some Arabs like to think they are "buying" time to consolidate........
