Poll question: SCENARIO: You are George Bush, and the Sears Tower has just been leveled.
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 03:51 PM by UdoKier
There are hundreds of casualties, and an Al Qaeda group based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has sent a pre-dated video claiming responsibility, so there is no doubt as to the culprit.

On closer examination, it becomes clear that the video was made inside one of Bandar Bush's palaces!

What do you do?

Remember now, you're George W. Bush.

2. Let's see...
...the nearest cornfield is probably Iowa. So, I hide in Iowa, invade Iran, and tell everyone what a great leader I be!

4. I'd have Bandar over, and then I'd invade the Netherlands.
Iran might've actually had something to do with the attacks. Gotta stay consistent and attack something completely unrelated. Keep everybody guessing.

13. After reading a book to children for several minutes after the attack
he will fly around like chicken little in his little plane. Then he will exploit the tragedy for political gain, send a few thousand people to Gitmo, invade Iran, and finally, long before that nation gives up, he will land on an carrier in a flight suit and say "mission accomplished." We've been there...we know what he will do.

14. Yes. History has a way of repeating itself.
Luckily, there will be no second term for that scenario to actually happen.

17. The "To Do" list:
1. Finish that cold sixpack in the fridge.

2. Run like hell to some place FAR away.

3. Call FAUX news and give an on air interview where you blame Clinton's penis for the attack and the uber-liberal Obama AND Illinois Emergency Management people for the lack of response.

4. Blame every Dem you can think of for not having let you nuke France when they refused to help you rid the world of Saddam.

5. Announce they have found a French passport in the still burning inferno, and state that intelligence reports told you last week that the French were gonna do it--but because you didn't know what time it was scheduled for it happened anyway.

6. Make them land Air Force one and get you another cold sixpack.

7. Fly all Saudis out of the US but halt all US transport.

8. Drink another six pack.
