Art, I see a bit of a contradiction when you say that you expect the Commander in Chief to consider re-election as a strategic advantage when executing a war, while also managing the news in the "best interests of the nation." The problem lies in the divide between the best interests of the nation and the best interests of the president.
Anyway, for an article to come out at the beginning of the month saying that the Pakistani's are being pressured to produce something preferably by the end of the month but most definitely before election day, and then have something produced A) Nearing the end the of month and B) Reported (what... the... fuck, don't wait, why wait?) on the day that Kerry makes his speech at the DNC... I know you guys like to be cautious about being confident in what you say about this, but yeah, it's a political move. I don't see anything stopping the administration from pressuring in June, I only see them gaining brownie points with the America people in July.
To use the war on terror as a re-election campaign division is wrong.
