I may be wrong, but what better way to screw your opponent than to say, convincingly, "we're going to attack you, not today, but as soon as a week from now," and then attack them tomorrow.

It may be my wishful thinking, I admit.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Yeah, I think it is wishful thinking. Bush does not lie (he wants no comparisons to Clinton!)

Bush put the brakes on the war fever just a bit, like tapping the brakes to slow down as you around another curve. I think we can take that at face value. It's not happening tomorrow or even next week. There'll be diplomacy for a little while longer yet. So put your ear plugs in hard, there's going to be a lot more garbage in the air yet to come than we've probably heard up to this point.
