Another wild card, Are our enemy combatants savvy enough to try and effect the outcome of a United States Presidential election? Our own media is complicit in this endeavor as judged by tone of news coverage of the alleged Iraq prison abuses.
This raises an interesting tangent, which is how you handle public relations for a long war in the information age. I believe that we are breaking new ground in that regard. Americans are impatient, so I think this is quite a challenge for the administration. Do you try to sell progress, or does that set you up for future media criticism?
