UH HOH. White HOuse is in trouble. They have to figure out a way to declare success and victory. Then take credit for the peace and the improved economy. Ask for compliance. Tell Saddam to turn XXX and YYY over by date certain. (Must make a deal with Saddam or else neutralize him.I guess they can't or maybe they would have already. Figure out a new scenario for the Generals. Maybe Saddam will have a conversion! Just do it.) Declare Saddam has complied, congratulate the UN Nato and the Allies and the peace marchers. Say all of them worked together to bring about peace. You need somebody to really bring it home to the American People. But George BUsh has to sell it and he can't Or he won't. So it will be the same old stories.Their pride and ego will slaughter the best of the rest of us. Rascal@ realitymovie.com

U.S. to Seek Tests to Show That Iraq Resists Disarming nytimes.com Another article in that vein. Tucked in at the end, though, is this little bit that makes me dubious of all the current breast-beating. Administration officials hope that Mr. Blix and Dr. ElBaradei will be more emphatic about Iraqi noncompliance in their next presentation to the Security Council, in about two weeks. Military officials said that they did not expect to be ready to attack Iraq until mid-March in any case, and that an attack would be acceptable in late March or early April, even with the onset of warm weather that some fear could hamper combat. Well, whatever. Who knows, but the prognosis for the first casualty hasn't shown any signs of the Lazarus syndrome lately.
