Perhaps you are correct... these things have to be well organized...
and then there's the theater of public opinion, and we all know what extremes folks sometimes go to in that regard. Pearl Harbor comes to mind.
In any event, we probably won't know anything until after the upcoming elections, unless Bush decides to "wag the dog."
The outcome could be very interesting.
Definitley agree.
I expect you're also right about not knowing anything until after the elections. Don't think Dubya would wag the dog, but do think he'd go ahead if info reached him of imminent peril, regardless of timing.
Lacking that immediate threat, I'm thinking after the elections...seems that's what he told the wimpy-Dems to placate them in their emasculated hysteria.
