Do you think Pres.Bush recent visit to Iraq was a ploy to garner an upswing in public opinion at the polls?

Answer 1

ya think?

Answer 2

Of course it was.
He left a meeting at Camp David and didn't tell anyone where he was going not even the chairman of the joint chiefs. He then secretly flew to Andrews and then Iraq. He also was still giving reporters a false schedule up until last night. Apparently there was a ceremony in the rose garden today according to the "false schedule". Even the Iraqi President didn't know til 5 minutes before hand.

Answer 3

Almost anything ANY president does publicly is arguably a publicity stunt. This one at least included meeting with a fellow head of state and a visit with the troops, which they seemed to appreciate. Consider his predecessor: when scientists mapped the human genome a few years ago, HE had a press conference as if it had been HIS project!

Answer 4

Is anything he does lately NOT a ploy to improve his ratings? They've been hemorrhaging since Katrina.

Answer 5

Probably. It's all becoming a little embarassing isn't it. I sometimes get nervous when he starts to speak, for fear that he will say something completely stupid.

I'm not American, but I think it's time to let this one go and vote for Hillary.

Answer 6

Of course it was. The same as trying to pass an amendment to the constitution to stop same sex marriages. If he'd keep his snotty little nose clean, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

Answer 7

Of course. He would oviously want to cash in on Zarqawi's death. Overplaying threats once again, Mr. Bush.

Answer 8

It worked!! He is up 3-4 points Wow!!

Answer 9

Are the American people so stupid that such a frivolous act can be seen as popular.. well maybe the polls will tell us. My opinion is that they are that stupid.

Answer 10

Sure. The weird thing, though, it all the secrecy that his visit was shrouded in.

Answer 11

yes
