Perhaps the real issue is simply that all the analysts thought the revenue consensus was an easy target and they missed it and that they are focusing on their disappointment and overlooking the operating leverage that will mean big bottom line gains once everyone stops worrying about war and starts spending money again. No one is looking ahead. That said, it IS hard to look ahead. I support Bush, but this has gone on way too long and I think it's about to push us back into recession (if it hasn't already). He needs to resolve this one way or the other ASAP. Go Duke!
