since i have the luxury of playing backseat pundit, i predict the war will be over in short order. 3 months max and 3 weeks min. ossama bin ladin will be captured early in the conflict vying for news cycles. the one-two punch of a quick war and the capture of enemy number one, combined with night after night of images of cheering iraqis in the streets will quell the protests and boost the stock market.
the administration will be embolded.
by august north korea and iran will be above the fold in the dailies.
