#1 if true that they want bush there i can think of only one reason, that is to make a huge attempt on his life,Binny must surly realise that just like George wants to kill him to 'decapite' the head off the snake so to speak why wouldn't binny want to do the same in return. Imagine a headline that reads "George Bush killed by Binny" wouldn't that be a crushing blow to the coalition. Be to us what killing Binny would be to them.

#2 talk about not getting the end result desired: Cheney would love to be unrestrained by political niceties. Assassination of Bush would be a verrrry bad idea for Bin Laden and Islamofascism

#3 is cheney the real driving force against them, i was more under the impression rummy was, or does rummy and Wolfawitz just sort out all the gear and statagies tec to go after what Chainey says.I always thought Rummy was the key stratagist thats all. Any one got a chart or something like a chain of command tree thing if you get what i mean to say exactly what they all do, not to well up on it as you can see :)

#4 Frank G

That's a rational conclusion. So what makes you think Binny is rational?

#5 It's pretty much impossible to tell what's going on in the admin from the outside... but from the articles I've read Bush makes all the major decisions after consulting with everyone and Condi is his closest advisor (but she doesn't talk much in meetings... just gives her opinion to Bush after). Rummy and Cheney are more hawkish and Powell is a bit more doveish... Bush is in the middle. Apparently Bush has no problem making big decisions and once he does he demands everyone is on board 100%. Oh yeah... wolfowitz doesn't have any direct influence on Bush, he does have influence on Rummy who's opinion Bush values though.

Btw, being in a democracy one man doesn't really mean much to our war effort (even if that man is the commander in chief). Killing Binny is a lot more devastating to AQ then any one person they could get of ours.

#6 JS UK -- Since you're not a US citizen (you're not, are you?), you can be excused for not understanding the VRWC/Neo-Con Cabal. Cheney was Rumsfeld's pupil back in the '70s, so Rummy is the original master.

BTW, check this out. It's hysterical (and a great idea):

#7 If I were Bin Laden I would stop all attacks, everywhere, except in Iraq. I'd let the world fall asleep again and think the war is over except where the US stirred up a hornets nest. At least until Kerry was elected.

#8 IF binny managed to get Bush assassinated (and that a very big "if"), Cheney and Rumsfeld would definitely take off the gloves. (Oh yes, boys and girls, we've been heavily gloved so far.)

There would be a great deal of regret in many places simultaneously around the world. For about one millisecond, before they died.
