It is worthwhile to remember that George HW Bush initiated Desert Storm while 'on vacation' in Kennebunkport.

GWB's at the ranch 'on vacation,' ain'a?

I think the speculation about waves of suicide bombers, etc. cranking up once we go in is probably overblown. But what if the worst happens, and the other side has a dirty bomb or worse to set off in an American city? What better time to find out that when the President and Congress aren't in town. That, plus we've got the Security Council charimanship this month. Also, I'm very suspicious over the genuineness of the flood of leaks coming out of this supposedly leak-proof administration. They have been increasing in number in recent weeks. Oh, and don't forget Saddam's baloons. It's coming. Time's up. Let's roll.

I've been saying this for weeks. Wouldn't it be just like GWB to make the press whores sweat out their war correspondence from the 110 degree heat of Crawford, rather than the relatively milder DC climate?

I am not sure when, but he is heading that way this month.
