Bush went to the UN because of the polls. Now he regrets it. The polls may keep him from rushing prematurely into war. We'll see. On the other hand the chickenhawks in his administration have a lot of influence over him. Thank God we have Powell there. He's tough but rational and is not thinking about oil company profits. He's more concerned with the lives of our servicemen and doing what's fair and right. That said, we may go to war with greater UN support if Bush doesn't shoot from the hip again. Better yet, we pressure Iraqis into killing Saddam or create some kind of coup d'etat. But it's tough when Saddam is on guard. Better to have taken him out a year ago more discreetly. Could save 500,000 lives and 200 billion dollars we dont have to spend.

Bush and Rove are extremely sensitive to polls. Another in a long line of your self-contradictions. First, you say the polls are against war. Now you say Bush lives by polls. Which is it? You'll say anything. Truth isn't a factor. Bush has been pounding the tables for months re. Iraq. Last summer, it looked like he would personally lead the first brigade over to Iraq, and our allies and the UN be damned. Suddenly, the first of many polls came out saying that the American public wanted the issue sanctioned by the UN before the US took any action. Who got their ass over to the UN pronto? In case, you're confused, his name rhymes with tush. And a couple of weeks ago, with horns blowing in the background and with all the drama he can muster, Bush proclaims that Saddam is in material breach and our allies and the UN be damned, and its on to Bagdad. But wait, the latest polls show that even more Americans think we need to go back to the UN. Guess who's sending Powell to the UN this week......you guessed it.....his name rhymes with tush. And if you think K. Rove and Bushie are into polls, check out poor tony. They may lynch him when he gets back to the UK. No surprise he told Bush to chill about all this war talk until a UN meeting in mid February. So please stop with your prattle about Bush being above polls......the facts are making you look very naive and foolish. ted
