Now, A Prediction

Saddam Hussein is the future President of a democratic Iraq.

To show his faith in Iraq, George will have to hand over Saddam after the "June 30 transfer of power." His polls will drop when he balks, so he'll be called to the carpet. And we all know what happens when we call him to the carpet: he does something dumb, like bomb a country on the basis of dubious intelligence obtained from an enemy.

This time, he will give them Saddam. Probably just before the election. This will not only boost his numbers among the sheep who will bleat: re-e-e-e-e-e-so-o-o-o-o-lve, re-e-e-e-eso-o-o-o-o-olve. Bu-u-u-u-ush has re-e-e-e-eso-o-o-o-o-lve. Hopefully, it will not be enough. Or it will be too early.

If King G lets him go, say, in late July, then Saddam might be walking the streets by election day. That's bad for George. It will finally make things exactly the way they were before we got over 800 of our girls and boys killed, paid a bazillion dollars which really could have helped here at home and alienated the rest of the world in the process. He will have no way to hide that he has left us morally and financially bankrupt as a society.

If Hussein gets back to Iraq in say, Septemberish, then maybe Hussein will still be in jail by the time the election rolls around. (But right now, I heard 40% of them want him as President again. That number will get him elected.) If Hussein sits in an Iraqi jail on November 2nd, then George might give Kerry a run for his money.

If Hussein sits in an American jail at election time, that could drastically reduce his votes, too. Therefore Hussein will be released to Iraq before the election. However, Bush cannot do it too close to the election, because then it might not give him a boost as it is perceived as a last ditch effort to bring his numbers back up.

Giving back Hussein might not win him the election, but not giving him back will cost the election, most certainly.
