Bush can't win on this one...
Woodward's book is full of amazing revelations about the run-up to war. It's hard to believe that BushCo's going to come out of this one with their favorable rating intact.
But the kicker is the Saudi deal - 'cause it's a timebomb. Prices (in unadjusted dollars) are higher than they ever have been. The story is that the Saudis agreed to dump oil on the market to lower the price....BUT NOT UNTIL JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION. That means BushCo gave the Saudis to go-ahead to pillage the American people for political gain.
But now that it's out, one of two things can happen. Prices can drop, which will be seen as validation that Woodward was right...or they won't, which will mean BushCo will be blamed for high prices. BushCos best strategy is to have prices drop now, hoping that it will blow over before November. But I don't believe that anyone in the BushCo will actually do that.
