..."He meant to do that".
Was having the British balk at joining in part of the "plan"? That put a big damper on airstrike-fever.
Am I "anti-Kerry" to hear the "unbelievably small" talk and be reminded of the guy who was blindsided by the Swift Boat Liars and inept in countering them -- despite ample warning and plenty of people trying to get fact-checks and counter-points into the hands of his campaign? Anything "unbelievably small" is pretty unbelievable that it would be effective... or the end of it.
And the whole thing isn't over, it's just that the fast-track to a train wreck has been averted. Kudos to the engineer and switchman for that, but can we have a little more "declare victory and go home" and a little less juvenile (and possibly premature) "BOOM! IN YOUR FACE, SUCKA!"?
