But some posters are as impatient as little children, similarly tossing aside all logic and throwing their temper tantrums.

I noticed that. My thought......a lot of Type-A children. :o)

I'm sure that with the experience of Cheney, Powell and Rumsfeld, and the instincts of, and wisdom bestowed by the Giver of all Wisdom to President Bush, they have forseen the intransigence of the Frogs and the Germans, the delay in Turkey's cooperation, and many other things that us lay-people don't have a clue about.

One thing I've noticed though, is that while this so-called dilly-dallying is going on, we have added important countries such as the UAE and Jordan to the 'team.' AND.....the military is raring to go!

I agree totally.....Bush knows what he's doing.

I think there is an awful lot of post-conflict rebuilding Iraq to be done now before hand. There will need to be a stable government, and frankly King Abdallah of Jordan is looking like the most likely candidate. With the Hashemites back on the throne in Iraq, it would take very little for King Abdallah to give most of Jordan to the Palestinians for their homeland.
