Election’s over, Christmas is over… it’s time for war?
News item: “The Bush administration waited until after the holiday to issue the orders, which alert units across the United States and possibly overseas to prepare for deployment to the Persian Gulf, officials said. . . .”
My question: Did they wait to allow thousands of American families to enjoy a less anxious holiday season . . . or to keep from (further) depressing Christmas retail sales?
How long does this give us until the actual shooting starts, anyway?
