7. Disagree

I think I understand what you're suggesting but I think your guess is wrong, not even the Bush administration is that dumb.

8. I hope you are right. As I said, just a wild guess.

Would they dare?

10. Iran? Pakistan?

They have made the most noise about Iran. But then, . . . .

They could be preparing for a pull-down in Iraq. But my first thought is Iran. Remember, I'm just guessing.

And then again, these maneuvers could just be ways to spend the bloated defense budget and keep friends of the Republican Party in the defense industry in the money during this presidential election year. I have no magic ball, and no idea how to read Tarot cards. I'm just seeing a pattern.
