Lizzie: IMO, Bush's only chance to be re-elected is to find an exit strategy on the IRAQ buildup ASAP...He can spin things and say that our plan for military action was essential to get the inspectors back into IRAQ and insure that the 'disarmament process' was taken seriously...we then slowly bring many of the troops home and allow the United Nations forces to back up Hans Blix & Co....This will reassure consumers and businesses in the United States and Europe that war may be unnecessary --> then, and only then will confidence start to rise and we may see the capital spending kick in...IMO, the market would respond and have a true 'relief rally'...Our economy is NOT healthy at all and Bush needs time for it to heal before the next election cycle...IMO, if he drags us into an expensive 'elective war' that could trigger a double dip recession (Merrill Lynch's Chief Strategist mentioned this possibility yesterday on CNBC).
