Coincidence ... or what!

Well, what about that? At last, Saddam Hussein has been found guilty of the minor crime arraigned against him and sentenced to hang.

How much 'capital' will George W Shrub make out of this, considering it is the mid-term election coming up on Tuesday?

Keep watching the press and the TV!

It seems the big dubya didn't make enough capital out of the Saddam trial result as his showing in the mid-terms was less than encouraging. He now faces two years of impotence before, I suspect, being impeached by the democrats.

Re- Question Time BBC 9/11/2006.

Malcolm Rifkind seemed to think that it was too much of a coincidence to announce the death sentence passed down on Saddam Hussein two days before the mid-term election in the U.S.
Although there is no proof, he thinks a deal was struck by U.S. to withhold the sentence announcement, despite the possibility of it being decided some time ago. This could have been a ploy to help boost a failing campaign for the Republicans.
