I still say the longer Bush waits to retailiate (if he ever does), the harder he will get hit at the polls.

This was no "brush under the rug" deal.

"I still say the longer Bush waits to retailiate "

Let me say this as clearly as I can. Bush does not control our military response in Iraq. That includes the timing, the tactics, and the degree of our eventual response. More than any Commander in Chief in recent history, he has made it a policy to allow the military to make tactical decisions. That means that the men who are making the decisions concerning our response to Fallujah, are the men who will lead the action in Fallujah.
