- Peace Garden: An Election Move In Iraq

An Election Move In Iraq

Tuesday, August 17, 2004

...I always saw our Najaf adventure as a crazy one. Going after al-Sadr with his militia positioned in some of Shia's holiest places is a major risk. We risk any hope of relationships with the Shia population of Iraq, Iran and the world if we continue with this folly. So why are we going in now? This article's theory looks to the upcoming election as the cause of this military action. W sees his chances slipping away. Bush and Company (from this point on throughout this blog they will be called THEM) is well aware of the polls and the public attitude towards Iraq. This article feels that "The Bush administration appears to have decided that it must take a huge risk to generate a military victory that can turn the tide in both Iraq and in the United States." With a major victory W's popularity will increase (his view). So what if lives are lost on both sides to get W re-elected. He doesn't seem to care. This war was based on lies. The 2000 election was based on theft. Of course W would base the 2004 election on blood - as long as it is someone else's blood. This may be the reason for the Najaf battles, but I am sure that the october Surprise is still in the works. THEM won't put all their eggs in a Najaf victory basket just yet.
