We started to see it yesterday and by next weekend it will be well known. Bush is setting a timetable for pullout from Iraq - and the "October" surprise may well be a plan for getting out of Iraq - "with victory". Of course it is all fantasy with no reality, but that is normal for this guy. After the election? We will probably bomb some new country - sort of like a bully kicking in your car door before running when the police are called. Anyway, military deserter Bush is going to cut and run in order to win the election. You can bet Karl Rove has already run the focus groups on this process. And you can bet that after the election it will change again. These guys are after permanent power. That's all.
