| You know I've been thinking about this topic ever since I heard this trial balloon floated, and I've come the conclusion that that is just what it is. We've heard that he may do Iran next. I've heard they'll go to Korea, once the North has been lulled into thinking "we won't interfer" and less troops means they can do to the South what Saddam did during the early 90's. I've also heard about them intensifying the Iraq effort afterward.
I believe these are mostly election year trial ballons. The idea is to encourage those on the fence to fall into the Bush camp. Will it work? Maybe. Most likely a tiny bit: but not much. Of course if the current pollster's polls aren't plopping out of their posteriors and they're right about it being a close one, just a few votes might mean a lot as Florida semi-proved.
Personally, I don't think the "pulling out" balloon is anything but a balloon. |
