Wildly implausible scenario. Trading the blind Sheik would have turned into a 48-state landslide against Zero.
remember that releasing the Blind Terrorist was on the table..and then the WH denied it.
Agreed. Then he would have been negotiating with terrorists.
WE think that trading the blind sheik would be a landslide against zero but remember...they have the media on their side and have reason to expect that such things will work in their favor. After all, who is in major trouble for fast and furious yet?
Except the media would have buried it.
The blind sheik story strangely was in the news at the time. There were rumors that Obama was negotiating his release. The WH denied that there were any negotiations. I thought it was very odd that he would even discuss this so close to the election, so this scenario does make sense. Trading a dying sheik for young American “hostages” would not have resulted in a landslide.
