The only way I see Woodward's book covering George W's wacky ass is by providing a post-Sept 11timeline to the planning of the war in Iraq. Clarke and O'Neill both claim it was being planned as early as Jan 2001.

In reaction, the WH has HAD to float a trial balloon of revealing that His Chimperial Highness had been planning an attack on Iraq as part of his "comprehensive strategy to eradicate terrorism permanently from the earth instead of swatting flies." I hope people understand that he means he intends, and has intended all along, to take our nation into a prolonged, bloody regional war in the Middle East that is going to dominate our national life for the foreseeable future.

The country is 50-50% towards the upcoming election, and I know that the RNC plan is to register more evangelicals to vote, but I am not sure that there are as many totally religiously insane people out there that they haven't already got voting for them. Americans are religious people, and many in fact hold profound religious faith, BUT that does not mean that they do not additionally possess solid powers of judgement and rational thought. I predict that Sane Americans, regardless of creed, will be repelled by the thought of a White House run according to the Book of Revelation. They might admire a president who has deep faith as the moral underpinning of his moral judgement and leadership, but not one who is more and more obviously religiously insane.
