The troops talked about maybe being out prior to September 30th, maybe around September 15th.  Could that speed up the rate change? …No…Here’s why…Banks planned, prepared, drafted the rate change.  They schedule everything.  If the agreed upon date was September 30th, if the troops get out sooner than that…it’s not going to speed up the rate change.  I’m not telling you the rate change is taking place on September 30th.  Nobody knows that date, but I’m telling you removing the troops before September 30th will not speed up the timing of the rate change because that’s hard scheduled by bankers.  That’s what they do.  They schedule everything.
