Is White House Preparing "Big Impact" Plan?

The Pentagon adopted a new strategy in its search for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. It is called the "big impact" plan.

The plan calls for gathering and holding on to all the information now being collected about the weapons. Rather than releasing its findings piecemeal, defense officials will release a comprehensive report on the arms, perhaps six months from now.

The goal of the strategy will be to quiet critics of the Bush administration who said claims of Iraq's hidden weapons stockpiles were exaggerated in order to go to war.

There will be some big PR push, when it is to Bush's political advantage. This is the way Rove works. The only way to combat it is to have the press educated and the opposition ready to show that what is presented was not a threat to the United States or even Iraq's neighbors.
