Does anyone in the world think it’s a coincidence that elections in Iraq, which have dominated the news cycle in the U.S. for the past four days (Did anything else happen in the rest of the world since Friday? Seriously…I’d like to know.), were scheduled for just before Bush’s first State of the Union address of his second term?
And if it’s not a coincidence, how confident must the Republicans have been that they’d secure a second term for Dubya when they announced the date for elections?
