> ’Can’t Blair see that this country is about to explode? Can’t Bush?’

I wonder if Mr. Fisk could be a little more specific in his deadline. When is ’about to,’ exactly? Will Iraq explode tomorrow? Next month? By the end of the year? Within the decade?

I’m not splitting hairs here - a general idea of when ’about to’ would be a good start for a rational argument. Moreso, if you consider the accuracy of some of Mr. Fisk’s previous predictions (US & total casualties from invading Afghanistan and Iraq for example.)

The reason I ask is because I’m wondering if Iraq doesn’t ’explode’ (just what does that mean, anyway?) do the conclusions drawn here show themselves to be false?

Thanks for your thoughts in advance!
