but there is no evidence that the Bush administration has the stomach for another attack.

There's plenty of time to build up the need to hit Iraq over the next year and a half. If he started now with full blown sabre rattling, it'd turn into a political mess. Better to let the dems get backed into the corner and having to support Bush when he decides to this rather than give them time to raise too much stink about it.

That's the way I see it anyway.

Are you looking clearly? It is we who are backed into a corner, not the Dems.
