I don't see Bush saying he won't go after Saddam. Reuters wishful thinking.

Reuters usually adds an anti-American spin to their coverage and headlines. This is no exception. Minus the Reuters super-sauce, this is another story about Bush yanking Saddam's chain.

The reporter, as you point out, is hearing what they want to hear.

"I don't see Bush saying he won't go after Saddam. Reuters wishful thinking."

I saw the press conference live and unspun. President Bush did NOT back away from war with Iraq.

In fact, I got the feeling the president finds some humor in the media "frenzy" over this "debate"...because as he clearly and calmly stated (again) ...he has not changed his mind.. Saddam is a threat and must go...and he is a patient man.

And, as Sec. Rumsfeld so nicely added---our allies haven't said "no" to action against Iraq because the President hasn't asked them to do anything (yet).

IMHO, the clock is ticking.
