...Bush who broke the deadlock. Each morning the CIA gives the Chief Executive a top-secret Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) on pressing issues of national security. One day in early spring, Tenet briefed Bush on the hunt for Abu Zubaydah, al-Qaeda's head of international operations, who was suspected of having been involved in the planning of the attack on the U.S.S. Cole. After the PDB, Bush told Rice that the approach to al-Qaeda was too scattershot. He was tired of "swatting at flies" and asked for a comprehensive plan for attacking terrorism.

The bloodbath of the past month, and the past 18 months, has made the prospect of mutual trust more remote than ever. Breaking the deadlock, then, may require that they put their trust in a third party willing to enforce the reciprocal commitments for years, or even decades, to come. It may be difficult to separate the combatants, now, without an international monitoring or peacekeeping force in which both sides have sufficient trust - that suggests...
