Bush's hands are not tied. He is free to invade. No, he's actually in a rather difficult political stew at the moment. With a rather high level of opposition in the UNSC, higher still levels of opposition throughout the world, and confusion and some fairly high levels of opposition in the US. If he goes without changing those dynamics some, we will all be in the stew. It is very possible to win the battle and lose the war; successfully invade Iraq and there are few to cheer. Not a happy fate. I think we just have to wait and see, see what Powell does next week; whether Bush has another speech up his sleeve; whether the inspection regime gets renewed by the USNC (those rumours via Robin Wright that the Bush folk would propose another deadline and were arguing over 30 or 60 days.)
