Kemp argues that Bush has played a nice game of chess, but that "it's time to give inspections a chance to succeed in disarming Iraq." I'm not terribly confident with this sort of prediction, but I think the President has been less of a proponent of war than he has made himself out to be, and I think if Iraq does something resembling cooperation, he will keep our dogs of war at heel. If Iraq does do something resembling cooperation, though, it should be understood that those dogs are the reason; Bush is playing not at chess, but at poker, and may well win without having to show his hand.
