I'd like to see some attribution for this statement. I expect that we'll see some reaction from the admin soon on this.
Thinking back to that period, I can see why Bush & Co. might regard a major incursion into/attack on a part of Iraq, during the UN runup, to be a very problematic thing. Remember, at the urging of the loyal opposition, they were holding off on things until the world could render its yea or nay. To maybe jeapordize the ability to get Saddam out in order to get this lesser thug might not have been a good choice.
But, I do have to say it's humorous to see Bush being attacked now because of his obsession with building coalitions.
