I could not agree more with Steyn's analysis in this piece. As much as I love and respect President Bush, I've got a sinking feeling that there will NOT be any war in Iraq to take out Saddam. The longer Blix, Anan, and the Leftists who infest the UN get to play in their sandbox, the weaker the case for war appears to the general public. By all accounts, the president chose to take Colin Powell's route through the UN. I increasingly fear it may have been a massive mistake. In any event, I sure don't see Powell working very hard to push the UN to do the right thing.

I agree that the policy of the Bush administration seems not now to be assertive concerted action, damn the UN, damn the critics...
It seems the policy now is no policy....the NK debacle we are witnessing makes me wonder if Gore did not actually steal the election and slip into the WH....
Lets face it...if Klinton were following the policies that W is doing in NK this forum would be HOWLING at him...and anyone being honest knows it...
As for Iraq.....what's been the BS we've heard...even some on this forum?? I remember some arrogant, ignorant Conservatives were chortling last January that "There'll be American soldiers in Baghdad by May 2002" hehe
Then it was what?? Oct 7.....the moon and all that....Freepers charting the moon to see when "it will begin" And then it was November....oh yes...just had to happen in November....
Bush was NOT going to let the UN play games was he?? Was he??? ......
Now its February....oh of course it'll happen in February won't it?? of course......
Now we hear "the UK is urging wait till Autumn...."
What do want to bet...that some elements of BUSH's administration put the Brits up to saying this so we'll have more excuse to do NOTHING??
Seems to me that is plausible....
I know most of you think I'm nuts and that W is some kind of all-knowing, all-seeing Poker player who is cleverly cornering our enemies and duping the UN....
Sorry....I don't buy it...the only ones getting duped and poked are we.....
Thanks, John

And just what do you think the tens of thousands of reserves are being called up from their civilian jobs and sent to the gulf at a cost of billions of dollars for?

We are going in when we are ready. We don't need to prove anything ahead of time. There will be plenty of proof afterward.
