If Bush goes, his popularity will zip up (particularly if he enunciates a detailed case, but it will even if he does not), and where it ends up will depend on the outcome. I will charge you nothing for this bit of wisdom.
Well, the dems have dug themselves in a hole, by insisting on hearings and a debate. Cheney said that the Presidient had told all of his national security team (I would assume this is Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Tenet) that they were to testify.

Personally, I think they have all sorts of evidence, and we will probably be shown aerial photos, transcripts of e-mails and phone calls, testimony by defectors and agents, etc.
I am SO looking forward to this. And you are quite right....his numbers will go up.
Third possibility: We never intended to invade Iraq.
