Can they really keep making all of this obvious preparation and then suddenly back down when the U.N. inspectors find nothing? It seems so unlikely. I've never seen such a fucking long buildup to war. Or is this just the most inane and involved posturing by the U.S. seen to date?

I can't decide if I'll be more disappointed if we don't go to war or if we do go to war.

What a gigantic cluster...
