A - I realize it sounds nutty, and you were kind in your phrasing, and

B - I believe every word of it. I don't think GWB will allow to occur an election he can't win. Never underestimate the fervor of the True Believer.

I think people weren't exactly in favor of him in the last election. He is crooked, as is now generally known. And his borrowing and spending will lead to higher interest rates, a depression.

A war is the only way out for him, the only way to boost the economy and remain a popular leader, at least portray himself as a needed leader.

Because if there's peace, who needs a two-bit crook and his dollar henchman? Nope, he'll make sure there's a war.

(I didn't think anyone could make Clinton look good. He just bombed.)

And, believe me, I'm sorry to say all that. I wish it didn't seem that way now, and, it really, really does. And it sounds nutty.
