(and his broader points are already too 'difficult' for the idealogues to seriously ponder; that would be to break the emotional High of that felt Certainty..)

What IMhO has stymied most honest and thorough studies of the 'plans' of this admin re Iraq - is the overt insincerity [mentioned] of their every utterance. Unshamed by the fact that most anyone can limn the next Messianic Message with good accuracy - not only Americans but *everyone* has been patronized.

Only that usually connotes "explaining the obvious to an unnecessary degree". With Dubya speaking, it is never clear that he has grasped the significance of what they wrote for him. How can you debate the BOTH pigheaded AND mentally unarmed?

The increasing likelihood that this Iraq event is merely an opening salvo of a Fundamentalist Master Plan for *Literal* US Empire... [?] That is my scale of question, just now and just before the Shock & Awe game has commenced: yes there may well be 'plans' -- but we aren't apt to learn of them for some time, and never via any honest revelation.

How quickly can a Juggernaut be turned around? / Can.. a US President be actually impeached *before* the next mischief triggers Unthinkable madness via the Law of Accident? (Especially when we have no opposition party here, at all; just Republicrats, and a handful only, with guts.)
