Mid October sounds fine - earlier, it is still too hot. Also, wag the dog accusations won't work with this president, not after 9/11.

Why not? Bush is one of the most political presidents we've ever had. How many Iraqis were on those planes on 9/11? That's not to say that Hussein and his sons don't deserve unexpected candygrams from our hellfire missiles, but let's not drink the kool-aid the way the Clintonistas did.

I was not saying Bush wouldn't consider the political effect, only that charges of wag-the-dog wouldn't stick with the public, which is frightened and wants action.
