Definately a post election move, I agree. It seems like the decisions of a wise and rational commander-in-chief, all things considered. (not that Bush is that, just that the decision to wait till after the election is sound).
I don't follow what you mean by "general retaliatory move rather then a precision one." Both can easily co-exist and one doesn't negate or even require the other?
I also hope for minimal deaths, but realistically understand that minimal is more likely for the US and massive is probably what's in store for the insurgency.

btw Roachboy...fwiw, I've been meaning to compliment you as your wriiting style, vocabulary, and passion in your posts is extremely captivating. I rarely agree with your position, but certainly read your opinions with interest. You're a diamond in the rough!
