There’s so much ambiguity in the multiple plots that I could only guess at one here. We’ve seen this kind of rope-a-dope strategy from Bush, but never one that played out over years like this. Perhaps this is the big one, with the others were like the wheels within wheels, but I think brilliant strategy is often invented in hindsight. I think he expected something to play out like this, with WMD discoveries vindicating him, but there’s no telling if he picked this time and place.
Let's say for s@it and giggles, sometime in mid-September another set of declassified reports indicate that other WMD's were found that only date back a few years or so, you'll certain to hear this from the luney lefties:
---Election day is just around the corner. Bush is using this to gain voter support for November.
---What took so long. We've been at war for 3 1/2 years. It's about time we see some results!!!
---Who authorized the report? Not some biased "commission".
I could give two hoots about todays assertation that the WMD's were pre-W. They were there. They were found. Bush was right, and Kerry(et al)still lies!!!!!
