Some quick (and slightly skeptical) observations from an military expert I just talked to, for what they’re worth: “My guess is that last night was probably based on good intelligence, not great intelligence….We have an inexperienced president reacting to that intelligence….I wouldn’t be surprised that they didn’t get him [Saddam]…The positive side is that it shows real flexibility on the part of the commander-in-chief. That is probably a good thing.”
