Will Zarqawi's death raise Bush's poll numbers?

I certainly hope not!!! or at least I hope any raise is only temporary.

Bush will be at 40% or higher by the end of next week.

to take a dump...someone will be indicted...it won't take long for him to be right back in the can.

It will be quicker if the Dems start talking about Osama...RIGHT NOW

but his people do sort of love war and all that killing stuff. Revenge is really hard for some people to give up. I have thought of it my self at times but grew up being taught that it was a very bad thing to do for ones sanity. Not that I have not spent hours thinking about it. Always a moral dilemma but I like to live with my self.

but when the insurgents re-double their efforts it will all be for naught

it wont last long though... If the violence stays the same or gets worse.

This one more death in reality is just one more death in a horror of deaths. We have to remind the public of every death every day. How many soldiers and Iraqis will be killed today. I am sure that number will "go up" despite Zarqawi's death.

at all. Geez, yesterday it was all stupid talk about Coulter today Zarqawi, it just never stops huh? But our guys are still out there, and Afghanistan is no better.

when in fact it is simply a blip...

"It's absurd to say the President relies of terror attacks for support. Why, just before (fill in date in near future) the President's popularity rose."

and yes, he will get a spike. No, it won't last until November.

Nevertheless, good riddance to Zarqawi

And if we could end this Iraq Crap without another American dying, I would rejoice regardless of what it made people think of the Chimp.

His magic is wearin' off.

it's back down into the toilet where they belong so we can hopefully flush them all away (no more "floaters"!)

...my first thought was:
A).There was some horse-trading going on here.
B). Was that really Al-Zarqawi?
C.) What is ACTUALLY happening..e.g. what don't they want us to be looking at just now?
D.) Well, if they tried to use Bin Forgotten Laden again so soon they'd just get laughed at by EVERYONE..

I wasn't always this cynical and suspicious. :tinfoilhat:

We get Pravda propaganda messages- and guessing games- which are frowned upon as much as hard facts. it is hard to feel anything about any "news" good or bad without suspecting one is being had.

"...this terrorist fight is hard work and it takes time. If we had bailed out like you limp wristed liberals wanted us to, we would have never got him."

Meanwhile...

It has taken how much money to get this guy?

There are probably no fewer than 7 people in line to take his place and all 7 are probably more ruthless than he was.

Anybody remember that guy...oh what's his name...Bin Laden??!?!?!?

I betcha a dollar you will see a shift - Zarqawi will become the focus, Bin Laden will be brushed under the carpet. NEVERMIND history. NEVERMIND what actually happened. NEVERMIND Bin Laden's role in 9/11. You watch. It is going to become a Zarqawi fest and they will have you believing that george bush himself went to Iraq and killed Zarqawi with his bare hands.

That faded as the insurgency escalated. Al Zarqawi's death will probably help Bush too,
but people are disillusioned now. The bounce will fade as Iraq continues to spin out
of control. Al Zarqawi was only an instigator. The Iraqi civil war will continue
without him and the bodies will continue to pile up.

or the next installment of one of the old ones.

I'm not encouraged lately by the "with it"ness of many Americans.

drop in the resistance, which it won't, there will be even bigger gains for Bush. Don't worry, Bush will weather any storms of approval and wind up more hated than ever. For one thing, seeing as this is the first good news out of Iraq for them in God knows how long, he and his administration will ride this horse to death and it won't take long.

at least not meaningly or permanently.

They will scream and clap and shill like this is the biggest victory in the history of America, as they keep trying to put a lid on all the disasters we see around us every day, courtesy of Bush & Co.

how much and for how long?

attention still think Iraq attacked us on 9/11, and they probably don't realize Zarqawi wasn't in Iraq (not anywhere near Saddam, anyway) until after we started this war!

I really do wish people would read and turn off their TV sets.
