Could it be that, knowing this, Bush, et al, has just been pulling the "rope-a-dope" the whole time? I mean, if this turns out to be true, then Bush will have masterfully let the Dems dig themselves into a hole that they cannot dig themselves out of.

And, the icing on the cake would be the recent goading of the libs into coming out and saying that there is no connection between Iraq and Al-Qaida!

I wouldn't want to bet my life in a game of chess with him.
The overly emotional liberals are easy to excite, while Bush sits back and feeds their adrenalin buzz by saying nothing. All the while pondering and savoring his success.
I think I'll buy a nice bottle of ...ahem...American wine , and hold it for the comming news reports. Maybe some American cheese for a snack.
