Two Years Before 9/11, Bush was Already Talking About Attacking Iraq: "'He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,' said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. 'It was on his mind. He said to me: 'One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.' And he said, 'My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.' He said, 'If I have a chance to invade...if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency.' Herskowitz said that Bush expressed frustration at a lifetime as an underachiever in the shadow of an accomplished father. In aggressive military action, he saw the opportunity to emerge from his father's shadow. The moment, Herskowitz said, came in the wake of the September 11 attacks. 'Suddenly, he's at 91 percent in the polls, and he'd barely crawled out of the bunker.' " Say it with me..."Premeditated."

Okay, today is 25 August.....I'll bet you a Coke that somehow, someway, through some "miracle", the Bush administration pulls Osama bin Laden out of their hat just before the election. In other words, sometime between now and election day, I'm betting that you can count on seeing Osama being "captured", and paraded around for political gain.

I may never have to buy a Coke again. BTW, I prefer Diet Coke. (:
