``We're trying to build a coalition and people are lining up to join us, and they [Pentagon officials] want to blow it all to hell by bombing Iraq tomorrow,'' said a senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity

This guy isn't a former official, he is a current official.

Bush will either do the right thing, or he won't.

Time will tell.

Why do you believe these people who write this stuff? We had two days of everyone ragging on the Italians because of some supposed quote, and today they gave us full support, including military troops.

Here is the deal, and I am going to explain this one time, and one time only. THE PRESS MAKES STUFF UP!!! NO BUSH OFFICIAL WOULD SAY THIS TO THE PRESS, especially in the middle of a WAR! A senior administration official could be some leftover fourth-level clerk in the state department who is PO'd that Maddy Albright isn't there anymore.

You are way too easy to spin. That is what the media is counting on, and the Clintonistas use it. Didn't you notice that Clinton was on NBC tonight? Didn't you notice that suddenly we get all these stories about division in the Bush Administration? Get a clue!

President Bush is not going to cave. The very idea is ridiculous. Now quit whining, and get with the program, for we are going to war.

``We're trying to build a coalition and people are lining up to join us, and they [Pentagon officials] want to blow it all to hell by bombing Iraq tomorrow,'' said a senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity

The question from the reporter probably was "Does the military have plans to bomb Iraq tomorrow?"

The answer was a question back to the reporter meant to question the reporter's smarts. Put a question mark at the end of the officials statement and it makes sense.

This guy isn't a former official, he is a current official.

That's right Bush's guys don't leak. But the press can't deal with it.
