Novak has been notorious – in fact, infamous – the past four years for always playing up _anything_ that’s bad news for Bush in his column. Given that I am disinclined to believe that he has any kind of real entree to what GWB is actually thinking, or planning. I might also note that this column goes directly counter to the latest maunderings from the Kerry campaign about a supposed Evil Seekrit Plan to do a massive NG/Reserve call-up right after the election. One or the other can be true, but not both (and, more likely, neither).
