The easing of rhetoric was an attempt to get the Security Council off the dime, to either pass a resolution that spells out what is required of Iraq but without pre-authorizing force, which is what France, Russia and China claimed was the stumbling block, or prove themselves incapable of passing anything meaningful. If Bush gives them what they say they want, then we either get progress in the UN or we get a basis for saying to our allies "look, we offered to do it their way and they still won't do anything, so join our coalition and we'll get the job done without them." That doesn't mean we go straight to war, though, but gives the foot draggers one last chance to take action. It is not a reversal, but rather a negotiating tactic.

Bob
