Administration officials have a further concern about where all these questions are leading. They fear that any problem with the prewar intelligence could undermine Bush's ability to continue his muscular campaign against terrorism overseas.

But pre-emption requires excellent intelligence, and the whole doctrine is undermined if the intelligence is wrong--or confected. "Intelligence takes on an even more important role than in the past because you can't wait until...
...Averbach's spine, she spent four hours settling him into his bed. She hooked the 37-year-old father of four onto a cardiac monitor, a mechanical ventilator and an intravenous drip. It was hard, physical work for her and another nurse, lifting the helpless body of the tall, muscular Averbach, who works as a private weapons instructor. Then she introduced herself.

That has left President Bush weighing a politically risky trip to the region to jumpstart a process that may be stillborn without more muscular U.S. intervention...
...course, the muscular assertion of Shiite identity and claims is not necessarily at odds with U.S. plans for a post-Saddam Iraq. Indeed, an anti-American demonstration held Wednesday at the culmination of the Kerbala pilgrimage drew only a few thousand of the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims. Much depends, in fact, on the exact nature of Washington's plans. And those are the subject of a fierce, and increasingly bitter political firefight in Washington - witness the charge Defense Policy Board member Newt Gingrich, Tuesday, that State Department officials on Garner's team had been sent to undermine President Bush...
