Let's hope not.....

George Bush has a problem. His war is running out of steam. Even the pundits at FOX News are admitting that Bush and his buddies have lost the propaganda war. Bush assumed Saddam would never go for inspections. But Saddam did, and the UN inspectors have not found any weapons of mass destruction that Bush claimed Iraq had. Powell shot himself in the foot with that dossier plagiarized from 12 year old student papers, and the mere fact that Bush has waited this long for the UN to rubber-stamp the war proves that Bush does not really see Iraq as a dire threat requiring immediate action. Yes, the UN inspectors found some missiles able to fly 15 miles further than the UN allowed. That still leaves a distance of several thousand miles before those missiles are a threat to the US. Bush wants those missiles destroyed. But with the US poised to invade Iraq, Bush is sounding a bit like Hitler demanding Poland disarm just in time for the Panzers to roll across the border.
But the main reason Bush has lost the propaganda war is that he has lost the trust of the American people. Only days ago, Bush claimed a report by top economists vindicated his tax cuts for the rich. It took only moments to confirm that the report Bush cited does not actually exist. As Bush himself would say, "Fool me once......................."
Trust is a funny thing. It can take decades to build and only a careless moment to destroy. And Bush has trashed not only his own credibility with repeated lies about Iraq and the economy, but the credibility of the government as well. People don't believe Bush any more. They don't dare take the chance.
So what's a war-monger to do?
It is clear that Bush still wants to start the war. He is not going to get UN approval. Too many nations are willing to veto the latest resolution. It isn't going to happen. Period. End of discussion.
Unless there is an "event". You know, an 'EVENT". Something that will scare the UN and the world into backing a war against Iraq.
Like another 9-11. Or another "Anthrax" scare. Only bigger. Scarier. Something so scary that people won't take the chance it ISN'T true.
When it happens, count on Iraq to be blamed for it. But why would Iraq do anything now? Iraq knows a war with the US cannot be won. Iraq has done everything possible to prevent this war. Why would Iraq now do anything that would guarantee a war? Why would Iraq, knowing that Bush's push for war has stumbled, do anything that would give Bush the push he so desperately needs?
The answer is that Iraq would not. Even if it had weapons of mass destruction, Iraq knows it cannot defeat the US military machine. Certainly Iraq's missiles cannot threaten the USA. Even more certain is that Iraq cannot find, let alone destroy, the fleet of SSBN Nuclear Missile Submarines that prowl the world's oceans. Remember those? You and I are still paying off that $5 trillion the US Government spent on a nuclear deterrent supposedly able to destroy an attacker. Each SSBN carries 192 warheads, each warhead 5-10 times the power of the bomb that destroyed the city of Hiroshima. Those who scream for "pre-emptive" war in Iraq because of the "threat" Iraq poses are in essence claiming that we all wasted that $5 trillion dollars, because the threat of those MIRVs no longer will deter Iraq from attacking the US.
So, Bush is desperate for an event to kick off the war. The latest scarecrow propped up in front of us is Saddam's supposed fleet of drone aircraft ready to spray Anthrax all over us unless we follow Bush to war. It must be remembered that the last time there was an anthrax scare, it turned out that the Anthrax came from a US biological weapons lab, complete with letters written to frame Arab Muslims for the attack. That is a precedent to keep in mind.
Saddam does not want war. Bush does. Howard does, Blair does (maybe), Sharon does (definitely). But Saddam does not. Every decision he has made to date is that of a man terrified of the idea of a war.
But as desperate as Saddam has proven to be to avoid war Bush is even more desperate to start one. So when an "event" happens, be very careful when the same people who plagiarized a 12 year old student thesis and claimed it was current intelligence insist they have "proof" that the same people they have been wanting to attack for the last year are the culprits. Because history has shown that it is always those who WANT a war who commit warlike acts.
Bush wants a war. What is he prepared to do to get one?
