Some things to consider

[cbc5g]

Violence goes down in Iraq suddenly - McCain "Surge worked!" "Obama unsafe!" polls say people think surge worked
McCain goes down to Colombia - Hostages released! "McCain can save hostages!"
Price of a barrel of oil goes way Way up - McCain switches to offshore drilling amazingly predicting it! Evens the lead on who can be better on energy
Now Russia invades Georgia while Bush and Putin share laughs at Olympics - Guess who leads on the issue of national security?


Coincidences? Anyone want to guess what's next on the list?

2. "Iraq war has isolated Bin Laden." Presto - Bin Laden trapped - gunned down - died of natural causes

while trapped in a cave.

That's how they operate.

3. I saw Putin getting off a plane in Georgia on CNN, so no,

I don't think he's yucking it up with the dim one now.

As for violence down in Iraq? Tell that to these people:

Death toll rises to 25 from Iraq market bombing

Source: AP

BAGHDAD - The death toll from a blast in a market in the northern Iraqi town of Tal Afar rose to 25 on Saturday, after four of the six dozen people injured died from their wounds, a security official said.

The predominantly ethnic Turkoman town was under an indefinite curfew following Friday's bombing, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to the speak to the media.

The official, who was familiar with the police investigation, said the blast was carried out by a lone Sunni Turkoman suicide bomber from Tal Afar, whose identity was established after forensic tests on his remains. The bomber had been released from detention four months ago under an amnesty passed by parliament earlier this year, he added.

The bomber may have avoided detection at a checkpoint leading to the busy market by having a man ride with him in the passenger seat, said the official. The passenger got off after the checkpoint, he added, quoting witness reports.

4. Maybe I'm being paranoid but to think Bush/Cheney co aren't manipulating events

to help McCain, is ridiculous.
