This debate is enjoyable to read. I love a good debate :-)

I think the question in this poll is "Will Dubbya attack Iraq on September 11th?" In my opinion he will not. He does not have the necessary support. Even if we were to dismiss as irrelevant the fact that our allies do not support such a move, he still lacks the necessary support.

Case in point: Dubbya's own father's three top foreign policy advisors are heading up a charge to try to defeat the current administration's policy! James Baker was George Bush the Elder's chief of staff and later his secretary of state and he has called for delays until the UN can do weapons inspections in Iraq. Brent Scowhahahahaha has long been considered to be the "other voice" of the elder Bush...he even co-wrote the elder Bush's memoirs. He has come out against the current administration by saying that we must wait until Iraq attacks us first before we attack them. Lawrence Eagleburger, one of the elder Bush's prime diplomats, has said we must not do any pre-emptive strike against Iraq until there is undeniable proof that Iraq is ready to strike us with nukes.

Not only does Dubbya lack support from these men, but his own secretary of state, Colin Powell, has shown much reserve about taking any military action against Iraq.

Many prominent Republicans, including Dick Armey, have come out against the notion of attacking Iraq.

In the ongoing polls, American support for attacking Iraq has been steadily eroding.

Given this political atmosphere, Dubbya knows that it would be political suicide for him to unilaterally go forward with such plans without first getting the blessings of the U.S. Congress and the American people.

So, no. The administration will not attack Iraq on September 11th or anytime in the near future. It would simply be a very stupid move politically...and let's face it, Dubbya is, after all is said and done, a politician :-)
