most pundits who are supposedly "in the know" say there is virtually no liklihood of action against Iraq until after the elections (2nd week of November). Most are throwing around a timeframe of mid-Nov to mid-Dec.

Of course, George could always change his mind. The world is not aligned with him on this one it appears.
