Bush is begging for an attack!
First we had Newsweek, then came the Saddam pics, and now Laura Bush visiting the Temple Mount....

The Temple Mount visit is very significant, as the last visit by a controversial figure created lots of mayhem in the region. In the Fall of 2000 Ariel Sharon made a similar type visit, which sparked outrage and violence. Some attributed his visit to the begging of the latest Intifada, though debunked, the event still left it's mark.

I am scared to see what's the next thing * has up his sleeve?

5. Why Wouldn't It Work?
:shrug:

Do you think they care about public opinion? So, everyone will hate him after another attack, it's not like they can do anything about it. Do you think the Repubs would impeach him or something?

7. Unfortunately, Their Behavior Indicates the Votes are Most Assuredly Fixed

Otherwise, they wouldn't be attempting things that are so out of whack w/ public opinion. They obviously no longer fear public opinion backlash or electoral backlash.

8. Me too
I think the next thing that happens could be a sign of what he is planning. Don't forget that our boarders are still very much open and airport security sucks. I was watching Bill Maher's show when Joe Scarborough was on and he was telling how he travels a lot. He was travelling somewhere with his wife, baby girl and his two sons. According to his experience he would wait in line and they would take about fifteen minute's to search everybody. They even searched the baby (I thought that was just gross). He was saying while all of this is going on someone could easily slip through. That was a good point. All of their priorities are mixed up searching wise. It's not any better before 9/11 even though things supposivley changed according to dear Bushie. Yeah fucking right. If anything they're worse.
