"I am interesting in hearing whether US voters think such a redeployment would or could influence the vote?"

It'll be interesting to see how this will be spun by the Bush league. It's all about looking like having allies who will follow the US troops wherever they lead. If this is good for a few political sound bites, it will certainly be used.

But it will take a heck of a lot more to actually change anyone's votes. The "October Surprise" in whatever form it might still take, would have to be about finding Osama Bin Laden-HIDING IN IRAQ!

Now that would even make me think twice...


and then continue to vote for Kerry...



...which I've already done.
