What if Bush finds WMD weeks before the election?

How could we confirm it was legit?

1. The will not be found. They will be "found".
and the evidence will come out at least months after the election.

2. no one will believe it now
there are no WMDs.

spinning the message so that fact and Bush's lies don't matter is the plan now.

3. they're not there
if they were there, they would have found them in April.

They'll find some evidence of "programs", but anyone who believes it is already intent on believing Bush anyway.

7. more significantly
how do you recover from it if that was your big talking point to the exclusion of others ?

I'm not saying get over it, just place it in the proper context so it can't hurt you. Its OK to hold the snake so long as he can't bite you.

8. WMDs have fingerprints
Their origins are found through those fingerprints.

Scott Ritter explained this long before the invasion.

10. My prediction is that
WMD's or Osama will be found by mid summer, WMD's will be hard to prove as being planted before the election, and will justify Iraq, while the bones and DNA of a body found in Tora Bora and analized by the army as Osama will go unquestioned, and will justify the war on terror. The question is, how to do either in the most believable way and at the most opportune time? Either way it will be a win win for bush.




george bush…pResident?

“good night paul, wherever you are”

12. Saddam was there...
... a real, existing person to be found. The weapons are not there, because they don't exist. You can't find what doesn't exist.

I have confidence in the people who have been telling anyone who will listen that no weapons exist.

13. We just need to be prepared for the Inevitable "surprise"
Lets discuss what it might be ahead of time. Get it out there in the public conversation.
