OMG, it just hit me! Bush has "peaked too early"
They should've sat on Saddam till April & staged a big shoot out. This helps to make Iraq look like a "done deal" which will accellerate tha calls for bringing all the troops home.

I'm not in favor of bringing all troops home immediately--that will only get more people killed and provide a huge recruitment for al Qaeda. But the more pressure there is on Bush to end it, the harder it will be for the PNACniks to start up the next war.

4. Yep ...
the American People have a year to figure out that Saddams capture does not mean anything, and that nothing has changed. AWOL even said that Saddam is not important.

Unfortunately that means that another 300 American soldiers will lose their life.

Cheers

6. There ya go!
Maybe it will be 'the economy, stupid' again (jobless recovery, my ass!) and there's always the bin Ladens (including Osama) with whom the Bushes have such a lovely friendship (just not with Osama) - but, you can bet your whatever that the bin Laden family could tell Bush how to get Osama in a hot second...and they won't!

8. I was thinking of writing this myself

And not only Saddam. Look at the economy.

On Saddam...

Major troop replacement is do in Feb/April. People will be watching not only the attacks between now and then but the level of troops in Iraq.

The British public did not want their troops over there in the first place. With Saddam captured, Blair could be under more pressure than Bush to bring the troops home and let the American do the "police action".


On the Economy....

While somehow the 3rd quarter numbers were great for *, we are in the Christmas season and how many people are now going to spend more money because Saddam is captured.

The Stock market and the overall economy will respond to the Christmas season. And Rove can not control the year end sales reports.

9. Exactly, Bucky!
I say the US has known exactly where Saddam was all along. Hell, if the gubmint can read the license plates on American cars in America via satellite, they can damn sure track down one man anywhere they want to.

This "war" has not gone according to plan from Day One. It was supposed to be a cakewalk, but something got thrown into the gears. I believe the original script called for Saddam to be captured quickly, thus "proving" bu$h knew what he was doing. Then, Halliburton et al would continue to realize big profits from the reconstruction. The fact that it has taken nine months almost to the day to get Saddam raises yet one more red flag with me.

Something happened to the script and it's too soon to figure out what it was. But desperation figures into it somehow!

:freak:
