Re: Tax cut stimulus. Just one more example of a credibility problem. As to credibility on war in Iraq, see two op-ed pieces in today's New York Times. The first, by Krugman, questions Bush's obsession with Hussein, and compares Bush with Captain Queeg of the U.S.S. Caine.

The second, by a former CIA employee, points out that this isn't the first time by any means that the U.S. has had a role in regime change in Iraq. Earlier "assistance" by the CIA helped put in power a dictator whose chief assistant, a youngster at the time, happened to be named Saddam Hussein.
