I think the President has delayed the war in Iraq for several reasons. First, all our troops/equipment must be in position to fight and finish quickly a strategically planned surgical attack. (We have, after all, been fighting in Afghansitan with a military that was systematically gutted for eight long and miserable years.) Second is his appreciation of Tony Blair's predicament in England. Although I don't think he'll be announcing the start of war tonight, I believe that climate considerations dictate a war very soon.

We have also had an opportunity to discover who are true allies are.

I think you are right on the points that you made. Even though I am gettinga a little restless, I would much rather wait until we had all of our military forces in place before we even thought about taking action. And President Bush is trying to recipricate support towards Tony Blaire. He has certianly shown great strength by going against the main stream in England and supporting our President.
