Looks like UN will reject, so it's all up to Bush.
And it seems he's already made up his mind. Unless he's a really good poker player and is bluffing. But I doubt it.

If we go to war, it will be one of the poorest prepared least provoked wars ever. Few allies, high cost during severe deficits, no clear transition plan or end game.

That said, if it turns out half as okay as Afghanistan I guess we can live with it. My biggest fear is Saddam will go out with a very messy deadly bang plus more terrorist strikes will result. In which case Bush's charge that Saddam may attack us some day becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. And if he blows up his oil-wells who will pay for the war? We will, of course. Adding much more to the deficits.
