Is it just me, or is this the first time in American history at least where military operations on the ground have openly been announced as having their schedule timed to political events at home?
Sure, I know that many military decisions have been alluded to by commentators as perhaps being partly the result of a President's political planning, such as claims that the Kosova operation was to distract from Monica, or certain announcements about troop deployments in Vietnam being made to coincide with public opinion.
Can you imagine in F.D.R. had delayed D-Day until after the 1944 elections?
