Poll question: Do you think the Berg video was released on purpose by US? |

It's blown the Iraq prison torture off the front page, and even provided a rationale to suppress additional torture evidence (photos & video). Gotta admit that the timing is pretty good.....

2. It's not necessary to think our government could be behind this |
|
in order to believe 100% that they'll take full advantage of it. The timing of this stinks to high heaven.

5. Yes it is not a coincidence |
|
Whenever the heat is put on Bush, there is always something to deflect it.
Nothing surprises me anymore.

On the Bushies-the media, Congress, even some repukes, are ranting that the torture pics will fuel retaliation against us- and now, it at least appears that retaliations are happening- but these dumb fuks obviously never put too much deep thought into anything they do.

just like 9/11, the timing of all this is very suspicious to me. Here we have the Iraq invasion, support dwindling, military families stirring and raising a fuss. There were photos of caskets coming home, prisoner abuse, torture and rape.
Now, we have one of ours being beheaded; the entire gruesome episode captured on tape and shown around the world.

10. Do you ever think Al Qaeda wants Bush in office? |
|
After all, without him they would just be a few idiots running around from cave to cave in Afghanistan. Bush's policies have made them into a force to be reckoned with around the world.

13. except it DIDN'T blow the Iraqi torture scandal |
|
off the front pages. It's still there.
In fact, it draws MORE attention to the mess in Iraq.
