Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[baletwine]

Zeev,

"Could it be that Bush does not intend to actually go to war..." (?)

This has been in the back of my mind for awhile, but I keep coming back to how seriously his "face" could be lost w/o Hussein winding up very much out of power and very much dead.

To get from here to the spin that Bush is the Peacemaker and avoided war with a showing of real strength and serious threats will be an incredible spin job -- a remaking of his administration's angle entirely.

A dangerous gambit.

But they whipped us up into a frenzy last summer, and I suppose we can be whipped back out of it...

The length of time it takes and how the market reacts... Good Question!
