SORRY FOR THE LIMITED BLOGGING: I’m quite busy today. In my absence, ponder the significance of this development:

ANKARA, Turkey — The Turkish government Tuesday offered the use of its bases in a potential war against Iraq, as U.S. officials confirmed that Saudi Arabia has also agreed to give its long-sought military support, twin moves that could clear the way for a formidable attack on multiple fronts.

Particularly as timed with this development:

WASHINGTON — President Bush today dismissed reports that Iraqi weapons inspections are going well, saying Saddam Hussein’s actions away from the U.N. team’s work prove that Saddam “is not somebody who looks like he’s interested in complying.”

Back later.
