In Other Words

The Rumour Mill

So the Blogsphere (yes, I use that word two now) is abuzz about the new Novak story that suggests that Bush will pull out within a year of the election, if Bush wins. Something about the new guard within the white house wanting to do things differently and leaving the Iraqis to fend for themselves.

I think I agree with Joshua Micah’s astute judgment on this one. It sounds to me, considering the source (a right winged reporter known for his continues bias), that it is just an attempt to create rumours out there so that potential voters against the war and against John Kerry have a third option. They can convince themselves that the rumours are true and then vote for Bush, even though Bush has no intention to pull out (if he would pull out his remaining international stock would become worthless as well, as he would then have invaded a country for no reason and not stayed to clean up the mess that he had created).

Just wanted to mention that, still trying to keep away from politics.
