It's Powell's fault. Tons of people predicted the circus that would ensue if we took it the UN, but Powell wanted to go to the UN anyway. Ugh!

Bush followed Powell's advice. Therefore, it's Bush's responsibility.

Let's take a vote. Who else is getting the sinking feeling this isn't going to happen at all?

I am...

I think the real delay is with the military
They must be telling Bush they just aren't ready

Turkey sure ain't helped

Scowcroft and Baker have egg on their faces, as well. Cheney was absolutely right when he said the inspection route via the UN was a trap.

So what's new! Colin Powell is the reason we are in this mess to begin with. Remember back in the Gulf war and we were kickin the $hit out the Iraq's on the "highway of death"? He told Bush that we can't do this and stopped the march to Bagdad. Now he's still draggin' us around with all his hand wringing.

It's not Powell's fault. The president makes the decisions. It would be crazy to chance the UN route without an "out." We'll see...but my confidence in this administration is starting to flag.
