Sauron knew Aragorn could use the Ring effectively. They were making an obviously stupid strategical move. Sauron could see that, and assumed they were only doing it because Aragorn had the Ring, and was planning on using it. On the account of Aragorn fighting in the battle.. "The day a general picks up a sword is the day he becomes a soldier." -- Rought quote from the Wheel of Time Series. Sometime in the last few books. Probably from Gareth Bryne, but potentially from Matrim Cauthon. You actually read all- what is it, 14 or so- books of that rubbish? The first three were OK. After that, it was 'the Aes Sedai have done another dick move' or 'Rand has conquered another city, killed another forsaken' or 'the Aiel have more ji'e'toh problems' or 'the Seanchan have collared more Aes Sedai'... the list of repeated plot elements goes on. Also, there were way too many characters to keep track of. All in all, it was pretty damn boring.
