SCOTT ROSENBERG is mocking the timing of the Administration’s PR offensive:

Time’s a-wasting — we must have “regime change” now. But, hey, we can delay everything for a whole month if that makes things more convenient for White House TV consultants, and for Bush’s ranch schedule.

Well, I suspect that the invasion is on its own timetable, probably waiting for these Marines to get where they’re going. A lot of Rosenberg’s commenters aren’t buying it either.

UPDATE: Reader Peter Stanley writes:

After Afghanistan, there was a shortage of precision weapons – cruise missiles, JDAMs, etc. Last fall, the gummint placed big orders with Raytheon, Lockheed and whoever else. We had enough again by June.

The reason we haven’t struck Iraq yet isn’t disorganization in the Bush administration or even troop movements. It’s the weather. No one wants to fight in a chem-bio suit in 110 degrees plus the shocking humidity of the Persian Gulf. We would have most likely more casualties from heatstroke than enemy action.

Good point.
