Newsweek: Bush Won't Consider Going After Iraq Until Afghan Terror Bases Are Eliminated Cheney Tells Wolfowitz to Quiet Talk On Iraq; Biden Says No Officials Saying 'Go After Iraq' at the Moment NEW YORK, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ --- President George W. Bush hasn't dismissed the idea of attacking Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein in the war on terror, but he won't consider it until the end of what his war cabinet calls Phase One -- eliminating Afghan terror bases, Newsweek reports in the current issue. Vice President Dick Cheney told the administration's top anti-Saddam militant -- Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz -- to pipe down, Newsweek has learned, and Sen. Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says that officials who once touted to him the possibility of ``going after Iraq'' (including National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice) aren't doing so at the moment, reports Chief Political Correspondent Howard Fineman.
