>>how does Bush get the big win he needs to match the size of his bet?<< Maybe you haven't noticed, but Bush already has the big win. The US has new bases, troops, materiel, command posts, all over the region. Regardless of whether Saddam has WMD or not, he's pinned down and effectively defanged. We're interdicting more contraband coming into Iraq than ever before, because of the increased US presence. Any threat from Iran or any other hostile nation in the region is minimized, as well. And nobody but Saddam and Al Qaeda seems to be complaining about it. Will it be embarrassing if the inspectors can't find WMD in Iraq? Hey, I can live with embarrassment when the upside is peace.
