1. I think this latest escalation is specifically designed to force congress
...and the American people into a much wider war by making taking the situation beyond the point of no return and thus opening the flood gates to any and all options for the president to force a victory even if it means full nuclear attacks on Iraq, Iran, Syria, N.Korea and any orther area of the world which defies complete American/neocon hegemony.

This is why Bush/Cheney must be stopped now through impeachment and restore the consitutional war powers back to congress.

2. From that point of view - they have to control that capital -
Or they have nothing at all to show for all the blood and monies spent.

Do you really think they can go any further without cleaning up the mess on their plate??

And it is most definately a BIG mess.

3. Maybe. Maybe he's get them all in there, declare
a false victory, and redeploy to Iran.
