Predictions always dicey proposisition
After cautioning Internet readers that making news predictions for 2006 is a mug’s game, BBC World Affairs editor John Simpson made news predictions for 2006. Here are some:-- Osama bin Laden will be captured, but not alive.
-- The American press will finally be forced into a serious examination of the Bush administration's business links. Pressure on Vice-President Cheney will grow a good deal heavier and more embarrassing. As a result Bush’s polls will fall even lower. But the US economy will continue to do well.
-- Saddam Hussein will be convicted of whatever he is charged with, but will appeal, He’llll go on trial for another set of allegations, but he’ll never see the end of that proceeding. Be’lll be executed 30 days after his appeal on the first set of convictions is rejected.
-- This time next year we may still be talking about forming an Iraqi government. No surprises there.
