October Surprise

October Surprise

All through the fall of last year there was much conspiratorial talk of the political urban legend called the "october surprise."  Many pundits ranted about how former President Bush was going to attack Iran, opening a third front in the WOW (war on whatever.)

This was, they said, meant to influence the public to vote for John McCain. Alas, the election came and went and there was no surprise.

But this is not entirely true. There was a surprise. But it was in December, and it was called the war on Gaza. It didn't influence the election directly, but it has changed the landscape that President Obama will have to operate in.

So instead of the United States attacking Iran, the U.S. proxy in the region, Israel, launched Operation Cast Lead on December 29th, on the Iranian regional proxy Hamas

So, we had a surprise, it just came in a different form and at a different time - just like a real surprise.
