Bush is not Kerry. He does not do what has to be done because of the election , If he did we wouldnt have gone to Iraq. Bush will do what has to be done in spite of the election.
Not really. Iraq was sold to him as a huge win-- saving the world from Iraq's WMD stockpiles and having most every Iraqi shower us with flowers and gifts with their liberation and the shiny new Arab democracy as a ray of hope to all. When he declared "Mission Accomplished," attacking Iraq looked like a brilliant move. I recall Chris Matthews talking about how we're all neo-cons now, because of how popular going to war was at that time.
I agree that Bush is not Kerry and Kerry may not have had the nerve to go to war in Iraq. But Bush is still a politician and I would be really surprised to see any military response to Iran before Nov. I may be in for a surprise but the polls show the race is still too close to call an early victory.
