War Delayed Because of Opposition

Warren P. Strobel reports that members of the Bush administration are pissed because they're running into problems with the logistics of war. People aren't rolling over and accepting the need for an attack, so they're having to push back their date for an assault.

"More than any other factor," Strobel writes, "public opinion here and abroad is complicating Bush's military calculations."

So, keep up the pressure, I suppose. Maybe we can avert a slaughter. As Stephen Zunes observes, "There is little question that were it not for the anti-war movement, the United States would have gone to war against Iraq already."
