Is Having A Verdict On Saddam 2 Days Before The Election, Bushco's Attempt At A November Surprise?

1. Without a doubt, albeit a feeble attempt, and obvious to anyone w/a brain,

which is probably around half the voters in the country or less.

[Hugin]

2. So far... Unanimous.

I haven't seen this at DU before.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. Obviously right now someone believes in coincidences (and Buhco not being involved).

Personally, spiritually, I don't believe in coincidences on any level.

8. Eh... Every Village has it's Idiot.

If one looks about and doesn't see him, it's probably them.

It's an outlier. :eyes:

3. Naaah. The Bushies have such a stirling record of being non-political.

They certainly won't bray about it being "victory for democracy", or "proof that justice prevails in Iraq".

2 days before and election? Just a coincidence.

[Paula Sims]

4. Obviously

But will it have an effect on anyone other than the 25%?

5. Timing is about right, remember the 'post capture of saddam bounce'

lasted less than a week. Had to get the verdict in the time frame that if there is a small bounce, that it lasts... two days seems to be about right.

6. Where is, "No duh dumbshit!"?

Let's hope America doesn't fall for the same old lemon car.

[EstimatedProphet]

9. Well...maybe...

Is the verdict about politics? I don't know. Or about the timing of the verdict.

But the media flogging it certainly is political!

11. Pretty lousy "November Surprise" without the surprise

Kind of like getting socks for Christmas.

12. Who on earth cares?

[treestar]

13. Yes but please tell me its obvious to the voters

That it is a power retention ploy. The trial has been going on for a long, long time so the verdict and the sentence (very close together) are an obvious attempt to play the winning-the-war-on-terra card - so obvious that most voters should shrug in disgust - and it only highlights that Iraq is a mess and the verdict will not make any real difference, if it does, it will be to makes things more of a mess.
