Not wanting to hijack this topic but, what ramifications is this going to have on the election in America? Bush and Co. have been using their effectiveness in their repsonse to 9/11 and the battle against terrorism. Military intervention in Iraq was a big step for the administration and this has blown up in their faces. Iraq is now a festering sore on the Bush administration that no one wants exposed. Is this the turning point in this election campaign that the Democrats have been waiting for? Can the Democrats manage to drop the ball on this gift that is being handed to them? They have run possibly the worst election campaign in American history to date, but can they honestly screw this up? The Bush administration were the ones pushing to get into Iraq to "stablize" the region. What they have done is take containment, toss it out the window, and create chaos for a country they had aspirations of saving from tyrany. How is this going to play with the international community? How is this going to play with the media as the international community has a hayday with this? How is the Bush campaign going to try and spin this and do damage control?
