Interesting Times: Test Marketing - War in Iran
by Mike the Usurper at 7:41 pm EDT, Sep 2, 2007

They [the source’s institution] have “instructions” (yes, that was the word used) from the Office of the Vice-President to roll out a campaign for war with Iran in the week after Labor Day; it will be coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox, and the usual suspects. It will be heavy sustained assault on the airwaves, designed to knock public sentiment into a position from which a war can be maintained. Evidently they don’t think they’ll ever get majority support for this—they want something like 35-40 percent support, which in their book is “plenty.”

Here's something to keep an eye open for.

This thread links to the front page of Packer's blog; in a short time, the story referenced here will no longer be displayed (directly) at this URL.

This reply is just to put the permalink for the story into the thread.

I'll also highlight the Packer-cites-Rubin-quotes-Bumiller-quotes-Card item:

"From a marketing point of view," said Andrew H. Card Jr., the White House chief of staff who is coordinating the effort, "you don't introduce new products in August."
