The
timing of the Saddam Hussein guilty verdict is suspicious,
coming as it did on the Sunday before mid-term elections
in the USA.
It
didn't do Bush much good, but is it acceptable for the Iraqi's
to try to help George Bush in this way?
We
asked our expert panel to give us their views.

"I
am happy to believe that the announcement of the
guilty verdict and the news that Saddam Hussein
is to be executed, was completely coincidentally
done three days before polling day in the USA. Whilst
it is true that the announcement could have been
made any time in the month before, or after, a timetable
is a timetable is a timetable. Next!"

"Oh,
for goodness sakes. For all the trouble Iraq has caused
George Bush, can't he have any benefit from
the invasion?"

"If
anything, the announcement of Saddam's guilt was
a counterintuitive proclamation and merely enforced
the stereotypical media perception of Iraqian desperation,
ultimately profoundly exacerbating the anti-Iraq
mentality in the USA. The announcement of Saddam's
guilty verdict may, indeed, such as it was timed,
have been a bad thing for the President, as indeed
it proved. One wonders what the result would have
been had it been announced that Donald Rumsfeld
was to be executed. Alas, we shall never know. Hic."

"My,
goodness me! Did they do that? It's a disgrace!
I'm so glad I persisted in voting Democrat on my
electronic machine which kept bringing up an error
message about 20 times before it finally accepted
my vote - My Republican friends didn't notice any
problems, it must be me and computers! Long live
democracy!"

"The
last thing we need at this moment is an investigation
into the tactics of an election. So what if the Iraqi's
timed the verdict to give Bush a boost in the polls?
So what? Bush didn't win, and Saddam was a very very
very very very very nasty former ally."

"Cock-a-hoop
am I that George Bush was defeated in the elections.
It is a disgrace that the Saddam guilty verdict was
delivered only days before the poll. I am so glad
the Republicans were given a bloody nose. Although
to be completely honest I am not 100% sure I didn't
vote for them by accident on my electronic voting
machine. Hey Ho, anyone for Badminton?"
