The President will be held personally accountable if he attacks Iraq and it goes wrong. He is willing to accept that responsibility. For these "top Republicans" to have any credibility what are they willing to put on the line if we do not attack and the next 911 is laid at Saddam's feet? They have all acknowledged that Saddam is, if not a present danger, a clear future danger to the United States and yet they want to wait until that future danger materializes to act. They are not leaders, they are pontificators that, if they have their way, pontificate all of us into a century of terrorist actions and reduced security and freedom here at home.

Bush needs to, and will do, what's right, and in the interests of the US and the planet, based on the information before him IMO. Of that I am quite confident. In this field of endeavor, I trust Bush. He will not be deflected by side issues, that are distracting and in the end not particularly relevant to the ultimate decision. That decision depends on the evidence that Saddam is developing and with time will have nasty weapons that he would use as an opus.

Patton was right in 1943, and Bush is right today.

Someone better listen.
