Will Iraqis try to damage Bush in 2004 election
Do everyday Iraqis get the news of what is going on in the US? Do they share the world's disappointment in George W Bush?

Will they try to produce an October surprise of their own? WOuld they recognize any advantage in Anybody Bush Bush?

2. I can't remember where I read it.....
But I read that there are going to be people from all over the world working on defeating bu$h. I've never heard anything like this before in my lifetime.....but bu$h is NOT liked anywhere,and he certainly isn't as "popular" here as the repukes wants us to believe.

4. Just keep in mind...it will be our troops, not Bush

who truly suffer. But yes I think they know they can effect our political process by dragging out the conflict. They're already screaming for jobs and such. It will only get worse.

5. Even a hint of terrorist unrest will make the population rally around Bush
If Bush looks like he is losing, there will be that "hint of terrorism"

9. Not anymore.
Especially if the Dem nominee manages to surround himself with some military types, or to be a military type.

There are some Repubs who see Bush as hero. But many in the center or mainstream Repubs see through him and aren't reassured.

7. I'll wager most Iraqis have bigger problems...
than worrying about our election. It could get very ugly in Iraq by November. I'll be suprised if that country does not collapse into a civil war.

8. They are already openly speculating that Bush is ...
... in such a "hasty" rush to turn over sovereignty because he wants the propaganda value for the election.

10. The 'insurgents' have him by the dangly bits.
A few big dramatic explosions in the weeks before the election could knock Bush out.

Iraq is Bush's project, if it looks like a disaster in early November, he's in trouble.
