Fair point, but thinking on this further, why WAS Sauron battling on different fronts at the same time? Was Lorien considered a major force against him, or could it be that he was attacking Lorien in case the One Ring itself was being hidden there?
We know from the books that he may have thought Pippin possesed the Ring, but I am not totally sure he was certain of this. Perhaps his attempted forays into Lorien were part of a bigger plan to try and flush the ring out?
Sorry for going off on a tangent, will move to another post if neccessary.
