...."GWB allowed the Kay report to be portrayed negatively for 48 hours without a response--even though the report basically says Saddam had the elements to create WMD....."

I think that Bush is playing Texas poker, and will show his hand once Kay's team finds some actual WMD, then he can finaly tell the world "sit down and STFU"

That's my guess.
The left can squirm and spin for awhile, and all Bush has to do is call for a major press report to make them all look like idiots.
He has time on his side. There's still more info for Kay to sort through.
Patience is a good thing. The left is overly emotional, and givin enough time (and a little more rope), Bush will slam them when the time is right. (The left hates it when Bush rises above their nonsence. They go friggen nuts.)
