Cheney's "Terra" Attack Threat: Where do you think it will be?

[smirkymonkey]

New York again? Or someplace else?

[dave502d]

1. CA

[shanti]

6. yep

it's gotta be here.

[smirkymonkey]

7. Do you think San Francisco? Remember Jeb Bush's

"threat" from a while back?

[shanti]

9. sure do

i don't think that it was an idle threat.

[TahitiNut]

13. West Coast: SF/Oakland, San Pedro (LA), Seattle, or Portland

Less probably Sandi Ego. One of the ports with huge amounts of containerized cargo.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

2. i read somewhere "the twin cities"

[Virginian]

3. In a strongly Democratic area.

Boston, watch out.
Before the election it would be suppressing the Dem vote, after election would be punishing Dem voters.

[smirkymonkey]

4. Shameless Kick!

:kick:

[livinbella]

5. The Heartland of America: Chi town. Maybe LA

[sangh0]

8. The only "attack" that will happen

is when Cheney hears the election results.

Don't fall for the fear-mongering. We know who is depending on that.

[smirkymonkey]

11. That's what I am worried about....

the vindictiveness of these people makes me wonder if they will "punish" us for voting them out.

[AlinPA]

12. I'm not falling for fear mongering, I just think it is in their tactics to

pull off an "attack". If think if they believe they are winning in the polls, they may not. Only if they fall back further.

[sangh0]

14. But you need more than "tactics"

You need a plan. Do you have ANY evidence of such a plan, or is this just speculation and innuendo?

Do you think you're doing anyone any favors by engaging in speculation that has NO basis in fact? After all, THAT'S what this thread is about.

[AlinPA]

17. No I don't know of any plans. I suspect them. Period.

[sangh0]

18. Why do you suspect them?

Why not expect an invasion of giant ants? After all, Cheney is capable of anything, right?

[AlinPA]

20. Any group that would start a war for the reasons they did (to make * a

"wartime" president)would do anything to keep power. Given that all you hear from them is *'s "leadership" in war, it lo0oks like they believe they have carried out that goal.

[sangh0]

22. I agree they would do ANYTHING, but

why do you think they might do this one specific thing?

[AlinPA]

23. There are many things they could do, yes, but this one thing would

create for them the same situation that I believe most agree was *'s high point, i.e., the post 9/11 surge in his popularity.

[Javaman]

10. In his pants

[Retrograde]

15. why just one place?

My predictions (and I was wrong about Reagan's death (among other things)):

-disrupt operations at O'Hare on Monday: this will have a ripple effect across the country and delay a lot of people getting back in time to vote - in addition to the psychological effects

-disrupt transportation systems in the San Francisco or New York areas on election day, so all those people who were planning to vote after work won't get to the polls in time

[sangh0]

16. Any evidence?

or is it rude of me to even ask?

[Retrograde]

24. no, just paranoia

it's what I would do if I wanted to cause a lot of disruption.

But then, in 2000 I thought that someone who won office under dubious circumstances who did not have a clear majority in the Senate would try to take a more bipartisan view of things...

[sangh0]

25. Thanks for the honesty

It's a rare trait among the paranoid. :-)

[greekspeak]

19. Probably in every precinct in the nation that trends democrat

"An unexplained terrorist threat on democratic polling places has today led Administration officials to close all democratic leaning polling places...."

[cmf]

21. They'll "foil" an attack

in Pennsylvania or Ohio. A successful attack wouldn't help them. However, if they "prevent" an attack, then they are "keeping us safe".

[sweetheart]

26. Well, what would a terrorist do?

They might have their brother subvert the right to vote of florida
voters?

OH! You mean the "OTHER" terrorists.

Presuming cheney wants the attack on domestic US soil, then a few
gallons of cyanide liquid poured in to a water resovoir in 3 swing
states would pretty much serve the republican purpose.

Hyjakking a petrol tanker and ramming it in to the florida governor's
mansion?

Putting sticky wads of chewing gum all over the subway platforms
in the washington metro? ;-)

Replacing Dick Cheney's IV drip with pure hydrochloric acid?.. naah,
wouldn't change a thing.
