End Game

I may be wrong, but I wouldn't be suprised to see this become the focal point. A blatant challenge, a clear deadline, blah blah blah. I wouldnt doubt if this is the beginning of the end.

Showmanship. Ask Naldo. The approximate date of this war was decided before W even agreed to consult with Congress, let alone the UN.

There is little doubt there. I'm quite sure contigency plans have been in place for quite some time and all include estimated time frames.

Sure it's showmanship. The point is, until now, there has been no obvious trigger point. Im quite sure the administration would prefer to have at least a mild cover of justification. I wouldn't doubt if this becomes it.
