Hughes is a security blanket for a man who is addicted to his comfortable patterns. Bush is simply more relaxed when Hughes is within earshot. When she's not there, he wants to know what she thinks.

But military and civilian officials insist that there is no finalized battle plan or timetable - and that Bush has not even been presented with a formal list of options.
