Will Bush hit the Rapture Button before leaving office?

[truth_is_extreme]

I can't run polls since I'm not a donor.

But I fear that Bush's wettest dream is nuclear holocaust. Will it happen? My answer is YES, as much as it terrorizes me.

Please answer YES, NO or MAYBE and explain why.

Thanks.

1. No

There is no money in it for him or his cronies, so he won't do it

[BeHereNow]

8. But what about the rebuilding contracts?

Seems to me there is a lot of no bid contract
Halliburton money to be swindled
out of the tax payers to clean up a nuclear
attack on some poor country...
~Sarcasm off~
Honestly, I put nothing past the murderous
people running the show; if there is money to be made
they will do anything to make it.

2. I Don't Think Its Beyond Him

But I think the trigger would be some immagined prophecy "comming to pass".

Scary bastard, ain't he?

[jmaier]

3. Is this a serious question?

Bush isn't a wingnut Christian, he manipulates wingnuts to hold power. He is an old-fashioned crony capitalist with a heart of coal and veins filled with oil.

[ThomWV]

5. I disagree

I think the SOB is a Wingnut IN ADDITION to the traits you mention.

[The Doctor.]

4. Only if China pulls the rug out...

and it won't necessarily be a 'holocaust'.

I look at it like this -

The PNAC agenda can be summed up as; "Last country standing."

If Asia doesn't pull the rug out from under us, we can expect this administration to continue the push into the ME by whatever nefarious means possible. By the time they have control of the oil, the world's economy will crash. The US will be the one to dictate terms to all other nations.

There will be a great deal of suffering, but we get a couple of decades of economic reign.

If Asia does pull the rug out (stops loaning us money), then we have to dramatically accelerate the program...

Which means nukes.

I'm just guessing, but I'd say we'll lob about 50-100 nukes at choice targets in N. Korea, China, Iran, Syria, etc. etc.

The US will suffer relatively light retaliation, then we pick up the pieces and proceed.

The world will never be the same, the suffering will be tremendous, we will be hated very deeply for at least a couple of centuries.

But the world will fall under one rule... America's.

That's what the PNAC Neo-cons believe in.
If only they weren't so damned incompetent.

11. the days of the US dictating terms to all other nations

are long behind us.

China is the new super-power, any way you look at it. Bush might want to destroy that by nuking them.

[Stirk]

6. No. I don't know if Bush's "faith" is real or not, but I *know* that

his advisors' piety is complete bullshit. They're corporatists, or fascists, or whatever you want to call them. They want to *own* the world, not blow it up.

[Bluebear]

7. "History? We'll all be dead!"

He may have some messianic complex which does worry me a bit.

[Pharaoh]

9. definately will use mini nukes

in Iran...............:nuke:

[Fridays Child]

10. I believe that he has mushroom cloud fantasies.

It's the ultimate weapon and he probably believes he's entitled to use it. In any case, the world has been in the gravest danger, since he first took office. He took us all directly to a precipice in January of 2001, and we've been teetering there, ever since.

[whistle]

12. I think George W. Bush can be very easily manipulated into...

...doing anything he thinks will win him approval from the small cadre of neo-conservation ultra right wing Dominionist cabal, including his delusional adolescent love/hate relationship that he has with Pappy Bush. That can happen at anytime, not just before he leaves office. All it will take is for Dubya to believe that it is God giving his the vision.

13. It's not up to Bush

Can we please stop all this talk of Bush wanting to bring on the end times and the rapture?

It's not up to him.

There are events relative to the end times, and the return of Christ, that will happen no matter who is in the Oval Office. They will happen because they have been ordained by the Lord God, not by Bush.

15. and was Snow White really a lesbian?

Jesus Christ is a fiction character buddy, I hate to break it to you.

[journalist3072]

17. I'm happy to break it to you....Christ is real! eom

[truth_is_extreme]

21. I hope you never wake up

[xfundy]

16. Ehh, not if the fundies and bushies believe they're "helping"

"jesus" bring the "end times" along.

[moof]

14. Definite possibility. Only the fool himself knows.

What's for him after his playing president, take over baseball ?

He seems more nuts than Nixon and the drugs make it even more difficult to predict.

[crikkett]

18. I say no nuke from W ...and since you brought it up,

...what drugs?

I wonder if he'll be able to finish his 2nd term. Now Cheney, I dunno what he'd do.

:kick: kick them out!

[Kansas Wyatt]

19. He may nuke us all to save himself from being impeached or lynched.

[LuPeRcALiO]

20. If Cheney sees an angle in it, sure.

Like if he decides he wants North Korea to launch a nuke attack on us (anywhere but Utah, Texas or Wisconson, please) so we can launch one back.

With Tony Blair's support, natch.
