Not the entire administration, Nadine. You may have had other things on your mind, but my mind was focused on this issue since 9/11, and I remember it the same way Carl remembers it. People who are fervidly pro-Israel, including you, have been anti-Iraq war hawks since 9/11.

Unless things have changed in the Bush administration (sorry, I've been rather busy these days) the military brass at the Pentagon and the State Department, and, I believe, the CIA, have been dragging their feet on Iraq, while it's been the neocons and the civilian upper echelon at the Pentagon that have been banging the war drum, although again agreeing with Carl, that started in September, not October.

Where Bush himself comes down on this and when I could not say.
