Yeah, I have been wavering on my prediction, but then I asked myself, why a press conference and not a speech? Why would he want to deal with questions that could potentially be distracting and most likely will be attempts to make him look bad or trap him? The networks would never give him time to do an Estrada speech, and he can't ask for time for a war speech and then veer off into judicial politics. He'd be scorched for misusing the East Room(or wherever it is at) and misleading the press. But a press conference allows for the subject to be introduced ostensibly without Bush desiring for it to come up. Thus a press conference gives him cover. So I bet a Fox or independent/conservative reporter is called on and asks such a question.

Hmmmm...you make some good points. I love speculation, don't you? That's why we have to start a live thread an hour before showtime. :-)

The President needed to remind the unwashed that he is The Commander in Chief and to scare Saddam. I think he did a solid job handling those yuk reporters.
