One of the most interesting things about having an RSS reader is seeing the same headlines over and over again. You really get an idea of how certain things are permeated in the media, especially in different countries.

Today, two headlines have dominated the feeds-

US May Reduce Forces in Iraq by Spring

and

Administration May Close Gitmo

Now, the thing that sticks out the most to me on these are......

They are suppositions. No hard facts. Just, "If this happens this way, then that will happen that way if we maybe feel like it that day".

But those headlines are EVERYWHERE. I mean it, from India to Al Jahzeera to Ireland.
Just floaters out there in the ether.

Someone with a conspiratorial mindset just might make something of it.

Bait and switch? Distraction? Placebo?
