So then, What happens to King George II when Bin Laden strikes again?
Does America rally around him again, or do they hate his guts?

and given the gullibility of the American public....

2. I'm afraid to think about that.
I'm afraid they will somehow still think King George is doing a good job
and sink further into their "America the Victim" defensive isolationism.

3. I can't even attempt a guess at that one.
I do recall on the stump something about, "Not on my watch". Let's just see George, let's just see. With all of his tough talk it should hurt him but damn, some people are stupid.

4. I think most of them would find any excuse to keep supporting him....
no matter how much evidence they were given of his incompetence and negligence, half this country still supported him. The Rove machine would find a way to blame a second attack on Bill Clinton and poor Bush would be the hero/victim yet again.

5. America rallies around him, he becomes wildly popular.
He'll immediately lash out at another supposed "terrorist sponsor"--most likely Syria.

It will be just like Sharon in Israel. He promised to stop the killing if elected. Instead things have gotten unbelievably worse. But he remains very popular by initiating massive military reprisals against whoever is convenient. It doesn't stop the violence but it keeps the public happy.

Bush* will use that model. And it will work very well here in JesusLand.

7. They will spin it to make * be supported
By both the misadministration and the mispublic.

Thanks to the election, it can be spun to justification. If it wasn't LIHOP before, it sure as hell will be now. :scared:

And if we are hit, we need to know which area(s) were BLUE in Selection 2004.

13. Well, if it's really bad, I'm sure he can get a third term
as well as making Christianity the national religion, getting rid of all taxation that isn't consumption based, eliminating all legal recourse against corporations, and whatever else his very little heart desires.

Hell, if he can get us nuked, he can probably crown himself Emperor.

17. There will be no terrorist attacks.
But if something does happen, it's all Clintons fault.
