A Thought On The Questioning Of Timing
Liberals question Bush’s timing a lot. Whenever there is a major announcement in the war on terror (like the capture of a major terror figure or the elevation of the terror alert level, etc.) there inevitably comes questions about the timing. It usually goes something like this:
Bush just announced “x” today because he wants to draw attention away from “y”.
This is called “wagging the dog,” and I posted about it earlier today. Sort of.
Anyway, here’s my thought on all these accusations of dog wagging: For a President that is perpetually in the midst of one controversy or another (from Plame to troop armor, pre-war intelligence to NSA intelligence gathering) is there ever a time when he can announce something and not have it making headlines opposite the scandal du jour?
