There is major butt kicking going on. I think Bush is going for final clean up so he can move on towards other items on his agenda, like Syria and Iran. Closing down targets of opportunity like commercial jets is just a precaution. He's got alot of things to accomplish, and no time to waste. Iran's Ayatollah mafia won't be able to stop a determined Bush. They are indirectly getting their butts kicked too, and will get it directly kicked if they don't stop interferring. Lets not forget, the Ayatollah of Iran was praying to the "Allah" rock 24hrs. non- stop on election day hoping Bush would loose. Allah didn't come through and now they are going to pay.
Agree. Smart move.
It's also to get things calmed down in advance of Iraq's elections coming up in two months.
