I'm a non-neocon Republican, who did not support the Iraq war but who would like to see GWB reelected.
Bush's performance in the past 18 months has tracked not the economy or social issues, but performance in Iraq. When Falluja happened, his ratings hit rock bottom. When Saddam was captured, they peaked.
This week was quite bad in Iraq. Two Americans got their heads sawed off in gruesome fashion.
But dare I say: you ain't seen nothing yet!
The Islamofascists know that their actions have effects in Western governments. They were able to throw the center-right government of Spain out of power with a couple of train bombs that killed a few hundred Spaniards during election week. They were replaced with pacifist socialists.
I have a very bad feeling that there will be an agitation, if you will, here in the U.S. just before the elections. I don't know what it will be, but I feel bad things will happen.
People say Americans are more likely to rally behind their leaders during times of terror. We'll see if that holds true for Bush.
What is true is that if things go South in Iraq, the American public will be pissed. I predict that right before elections, there will be a massive agitation by all Islamic groups in Iraq. You'll see things that week which will make the execution videos seem PG.
Hell, it could be you getting your head sawed off that week. How would you like to be part of the Islamic propaganda, without even leaving the US of A? There's enough Islamic terrorists here under the radar to make it happen. If nothing else, they can fly into Mexico and just run across the border. That always seems to work.
Well, maybe I'm just a pessimist, but that's what all the signs point to.
