My own understanding of Mr. Bush is that the French and Russians have miscalculated. On Friday, the Bush administration made clear that it was making its "final offer" -- the farthest it could move towards the French position without sacrificing its own minimum requirements. Since this position is not accepted, the game is up.


Our best hope is that Bush does "call their bluff" and move ahead at the UN, by making France or Russia veto the motion. This is also his best move from the standpoint of domestic politics, no matter what hysteria he will have to put up with from the Media. As I have said before, it will be an interesting Winter!
