But OTOH, BushCo doesn't do logical things, and goading the beast is unhelpful in the extreme. The Midget Mayor could find himself facing an America with a Draft that has just reopened five boot camps and is mobilizing like it's WW2 and a circling band of carriers stacked to the rafters with attack and fighter aircraft in the Persian-Arabian Gulf.
I realize that is an unlikely-in-the-extreme scenario as well, but the phrase "Too clever by half" comes to mind when I contemplate the diarrhea of the mouth that bozo seems to suffer.
Of course, there's always the possibility of the "targeted attack" as well. We forget what Israel did when Iraq tried to pull the same "nuke plant" business back in 1981 (seems like just yesterday to me, but I realize there are people who weren't even born when that happened!!):

It is the world's first air strike against a nuclear plant.
An undisclosed number of F-15 interceptors and F-16 fighter bombers destroyed the Osirak reactor 18 miles south of Baghdad, on the orders of Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
The army command said all the Israeli planes returned safely.
The 70-megawatt uranium-powered reactor was near completion but had not been stocked with nuclear fuel so there was no danger of a leak, according to sources in the French atomic industry. ....
