In another article, I boldly predicted a military strike on Iran or Libya no later than October 15th. This 'wag the dog' scenario would be intended to garner the Rally Round the Flag effect.

I am leaning towards the Libya fiasco as the failed wag the dog attempt. The blind sheik is still in jail here and four good men lost their lives.

Now this is a reasonable conjecture. In this, one of the predictions that failed, it could have been that there was the attempt -- and the attempt failed -- to Wag the Dog.

It could very well have been. Unfortunately, since we are without accurate information, it would be hard to prove.

Therefore I must assume that my prediction was simply wrong, until I can prove otherwise.
