It appears to me that this may indeed be true. Such a tactic--if true, a big if--ignores the merits of the campaign, all of which are set forth in Pollack's book. No need to repeat them. And it ignores the fact that there are zero indications that Bush is not comfortable perched on the edge of this theoretical limb, or that he walked on it with eyes wide open. Is Pollack a part of the war marketing effort? I don't think so. But his thinking is being ignored by all of those here who oppose the war. Not much discussion of his views, which provide a cogent rationalization for the campaign. Plus, the business about the war on Iraq being planned shortly after 9/11 is a non-sequitur. It draws a yawn and a "so what?" from me. More importantly, the timing, if true, shows a heightened consciousness towards national security and foreign relations issues, which I welcome.
