I mean aside from bombing with the Lame Ad of the Year.

4. There are only 2 weekends left and the last weekend wouldn't
get enough media attention. Everyone be careful this weekend.

3. Next Thursday
Fridays and weekend days are not good news days. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays allow to much time for counter point/correction/fact checking. Watch for Thursday.

8. Late next Friday - best time for Iran strike
Iran Mullah leadership more easily targeted at Friday prayers

Major repercussions will/can be delayed until after Election day

US oil markets will be closed until Monday - no immediate rise in US gas prices due to $100+ a barrel oil.

Iranian retaliation (invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan by Iranian mujahadeen and Revolutionary Guard strikes against shipping Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea) will be slow in developing. Rummy will quash any news of Iranian counter strikes until after Nov, 2nd.

US Whoremedia will spin 24/7 for the Chimp

Kerry will be effectively shut out of the media limelight (can't/won't criticize Bush and/or Israel if they participate in strikes).

Bush's approvals/poll numbers will soar - Landslide Bush Nov. 2, 2004.

A Perfect Rovian Masterstroke...

9. If Bushies pull a preemptive strike against Iran it will lose the election
Edited on Fri Oct-22-04 05:28 PM by Mountainman
for them.

Already the majority of Americans think that the Iraq war was a mistake. They feel that Bush does not have an exit strategy or a plan to win the peace. If he goes after another country which is not an immanent threat, and widens the war only a minority of voters will support it.

I just can't see them doing such a reckless act to stay in power without knowing what it will do to the security of this country.

If they do it will be looked on by the rest of the world as a war crime.

12. mind
Time won't change you
Money won't change you
I haven't got the faintest idea
Everything seems to be up in the air at this time

I need something you change your mind

Drugs won't change you
Religion won't change you

Science won't change you
Looks like I can't change you
I try to talk to you, to make things clear
but you're not even listening to me...
And it comes directly from my heart to you...

I need something to change your mind.
