The word from the White House is, DON'T OFFEND THE ARABS!

"Why not?" Because we're going to have to stage our strike against Iraq from one of the other Middle Eastern countries, that's why. We've suckered the Kurds in Northern Iraq before, and they don't want the shame of a second taking on themselves. I wish I could defend all we've done with regard to foreign policy -- Republican administration or Democratic -- but I can't.

Dubya is a straight talker, and I believe he will do what he says, if allowed to do so, but there's that bunch in Congress to contend with. He can talk all he wants, but unless they back him up, he's out on a limb with a chainsaw between him and the trunk.

What's a few dead peasants between friends? The WSJ recently reported a case of Marines delivering American citizens seeking refuge back to their Saudi owners.

Connect the dots.
