Scotland Yard did a very nice job in busting this ring. Maybe they rolled the ring up over the weekend, or late last week.

Now comes time to publicise their efforts. They were going to do it on Monday, so Bush gets a courtesy call from Blair on Sunday night.

Bush calls his advisors...Rove tells Bush to ask them to hold off for a few days.

Tuesday came. If Lieberman would have won, Bush would point to the bust as an example of his administration's successes in dealing with the international community on terra.

Lamont won, so Bush asked the Brits to act like the terra was imminent and Bush took the US to a wartime footing.

I just don't think we would have seen this reaction if Holy Joe would have won the primary.
