"Rope a Dope" should be especially potent against the media and more-liberal Democrats.

I don't think Bush is playing the "Rope-a-Dope" for a couple of reasons.
1. If it was discovered that Bush was hiding the weapons for an October surprise, the backlash would be horrific. He would lose the election.
2. The Iraqis are too stupid to build effective WMD's without help and after the first gulf war, help was in short supply. Almost everything that I have seen from the hard core muslims indicates that they are incapable of solving even elementary technical problems.
3. Why would Iraq build WMD's? They aren't really effective in war. Maybe Saddam thought the threat was all he needed. Bluff and bravado seemed to be his strongest points.
