By the time the campaign is really in full bloom, he'll have had time to figure out if this narrative will or won't be positively viewed by the "public", which is to say, the public he cares about impressing.

The story highlights well one of my growing reservations about any President "going to war" on terror or terrorists - every war is eventually decided based on political calculus, the dead men and women just the pawns played by those striving for power.
