The NYT is at it again, using news stories as editorials for reasons not to go into Iraq.

What do they mean "top Republicans"? You have one renegade Senator, and 3 former Secretaries of State (people in that position are not known for being hawks on anything).

If this was a Cabinent Secretary going on the record or something, that would be one thing, but this headline and story should be on the ediotrial page. I love the anonamous statement from a "senior official" involved in "foreign policy".

Dick Armey voicing his reservations was real news, he is a top member of the House Leadership, but he is retiring so its really watered down. What a damn joke the Times is.

This is loony to me. This has to be disinformation to distract and confuse. The assumptions are very sloppy. For all we know, Dubya's military men are likely planning a special ops to nab Saddam surgically. Bush has never talked about a mass invasion and it wouldn't make sense here. In the Gulf War we had military in Kuwait to expell, here we only want one guy and a mass invasion would be over-kill.
