Tim,

Remember the fall of 1990?

Saddam took several thousand European and American hostages as human shields, and placed them in military installations around Iraq.

Bush senior was impotent until Oscar Wyatt and John Connally traveled to Iraq (against the wishes of the administration) and got the 3,000 hostages released. Then Bush and Powell were able to bomb and pretend to be heroes.

Baby Bush is in a similar situation, but I'm sure he is not intelligent enough to learn from the lessons of his father.
