BTW, fun speculation but it isn't going to happen. However, I cannot point you at them right now so we will just have to wait.

Like I said, if it turns out that way, Bush will be ruined and he will deserve to be ruined. He didn't have to go with the WMD positioning (never my favorite) so he damn well better know where the stuff is. If not, Karl Rove will shoot him personally.

Someday, perhaps soon, the war with Iraq will end, and the domestic agenda will re-emerge front and center. Despite the setbacks and the hand-wringing, there is a very great chance that this war will end with an American victory, and with lots of iraqis surfacing, when they are certain Saddam Hussein and his cronies are gone, to tell heart-rending and hair-raising tales of butchery in the Hussein regime. (If you don't believe that, read the chilling Sports Illustrated story a couple of weeks ago about the torture and murder by Hussein's sadistic son of athletes and coaches who didn't measure up.)

If so, Bush may well end up with an 80 percent-plus approval rating, a huge influx of political capital and a deep resolve to use it on his domestic priorities, which of course are dominated by ever-larger tax cuts.
