PLAYERS CONVENTIONAL WISDOM
George Bush + War critic? Who, me? Mr. President, the CW was always your biggest backer. Saddam Hussein - Overrated, cruel, despised, dangerous–and still a hero to Palestinians. Israel + Iraq’s missiles a terrifying PR bonanza. A new Israeli-Egypt coalition? U.S. Air Force + Old CW: Drained our national treasury. New CW: Terrific surgical accuracy. Scud missile - Mobile, but inaccurate. The Scud’s a dud–except as a political weapon. The Democrats - Support troops but not policy. Huh? If wars ends quickly, so will ‘92 hopes.
