What is really eating George W. Bush? Speculation abounds. Saddam is a credible threat, or just plain evil; it’s the oil (and the SUVs); Bush is avenging his dad; war distracts from the sagging economy; it’s really about Israel. None of these motivations fully explain why Bush seems so dead-set on war against Iraq, and not a single one warrants large-scale, on-the-ground operations.

After Blix reports, deliberations in New York City are bound to take a week or so. And it's a given that Saddam will try to pull some diplomatic stunts to avoid an invasion, as he did in 1991, although President George W. Bush last week made it plain that the U.S. would not tolerate such a "last-minute game of deception. The game is over." So it will probably be sometime during those moonless nights at the beginning of March that the diplomatic phase will finally end and the military one begin.
