Ninety days? Because by then Iraq's hash will have been settled, of course. Domino theory for the 21st century...

Yeah. If we do Iraq in January, Saudi can be February. Can you hear the dominos start to fall?

We have to secure the Iraqi oil supply before we can jeopardize our ability to get oil from the Saudis.

You don't take on all of your enemies at one time.

The previous comments have taken the words right out of my mouth.

I suspect that the folks who've been whining about President Bush being a trigger-happy cowboy have misunderestimated him badly. He's not rushing in with guns blazing in classic spagetti western fashion, he's more of a pool shark. He's taking his time, lining up his shots with surgical precision, being ever conscious of his position on the table, and watching his 'leave.'

Perhaps his misspent youth wasn't so misspent after all..
