Will Bush exploit the Saddam trial to win the election?
Will he sink so low and try something like this?

And would it be an effective tactic?

1. No
Edited on Sun Mar-07-04 06:29 AM by La_Serpiente
because it won't be until next year.

But I wouldn't mind if the defense attorneys showed this picture at the trial.

3. Bush will exploit anything and every possible situation possible
in any way possible to hold onto power. He will lie, cheat, and steal to win. He's done it before--why do you think he would suddenly develop a sense of morality and ethical behavior?

10. yes, that's his only limit
if he can use it, he will use it.

In this case, I think the Saddam trial is too far in the future to be used in this election.

4. I think it is a safe assumption that Bush will do anything
necessary to allow his administration to main power

9. He would sell Barbara to win.
Who knows what Saddam will do to things here. Has a poll been done so Bush knows what to blame Saddam for doing?

6. What WON'T he exploit...
to win this election? He's already exploiting the victims of 9/11 and said so brazenly.

7. Never Happen
The U.S. Government will want to stifle ANYTHING that Saddam spouts out while on trial.

It will be ugly when the truth about the U.S. role in the Iran/Iraq conflict comes out.
