Is Rove planning a terrorist attack on the Super Bowl?
Did anyone catch this on Democrats.com? Scary stuff, especially when you consider Bush's poll numbers, wiretapping, Iran, Patriot Act, etc.
The White House is being way too quiet today, and the silence is eerie.

Sure, Bush is on the road talking about "competitiveness." But he might as well be talking about Mah Jong for all anyone cares.

Bad things happen when Bush is babbling about things he cares nothing about - sometimes very bad things.

Remember 9/11? That morning, Bush was babbling about education in a Florida classroom, as if Mr. "Is Our Children Learning?" gave a crap. He learned about the first plane crashing into the WTC at 8:46 a.m. - he twice said he saw it live, which of course no one else did - yet at 9:00 a.m. he walked right into the classroom as scheduled. And right after the second plane hit at 9:05 a.m. - which everyone except Bush saw live on TV - Andy Card whispered in Bush's ear that "America is under attack." Yet Bush didn't flinch; he just kept reading "My Pet Goat" with the kids for another 10-20 minutes. He then gave a horrible TV statement and flew as far from Washington as he could. But a few days later, Karl Rove put him before the cameras with rescue workers on Ground Zero, put a bullhorn in his hand, and instantly transformed him from a clueless coward to a "hero."

2. I guess this question will be answered tomorrow
However, I don't think it will happen. Not tomorrow anyway.

3. It'd be too obvious maybe
I'm not sure but it does make one think. I hope nothing happens.

29. Too obvious doesn't mean anyting to this Administration...
the "New" Osama Bin Laden tape seemed "Too Obvious" but that didn't stop them from releasing it and politicizing it's "message" (remember OBL said he was going to attack in the US very soon).

The apointment of John Bolton or Samuel Alito seems a little obvious for following through with their agenda... but it didn't stop them from pushing those appointments through.

"Too obvious" means nothing to an arrogant Administration such as this... they've got away with everything before.

7. I hope you're right...
...but BushCo is evil and power-hungry enough. That's what turns my stomach.

4. When Jeff Ganon first went to the White House, there were sitcoms on TV
Since there are now sitcoms on TV, this proves that there is homosexual sex going on in the White House right now.

11. Imagine if "That's My Bush" were still airing!
Matt Stone and Trey Parker would be going wild with the stuff that's going on in the White House now - gay sex, treason, voter fraud...

6. I doubt it would happen, but
if it did, maybe America would wake up and realize that we are not safer with Bush as president

arrangements, if it happens, we'll know who did it.

13. Well..nothing they do would suprise me, but
way to obvious, way to difficult to do with all of the security there. If/when it happens, i think it will be someplace and somewhere and at a time when it is least expected....but well..they have done so many stupid and obvious things...so nothing they would do would suprise me..or any of us, i guess. I was born in Detroit..and i love Detroit...so, i sure do hope it does not happen there.

14. Yes. When the game is half over ...
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 05:01 PM by FlemingsGhost
four geezers will attempt to relive their rebellious youths. The leader of the terror group will horrify us by strutting around, thrusting his hips and using his mouth in a sexually provactive manner.

All the while shouting: "What a drag it is getting old ..."

Oh, the humanity! The horror ... the horror.

18. Well if he does attack the Superbowl we will ALL know who did it
and people would turn against Bush. I think it more likely a nuke explosion on a large ship in a harbor

19. I read there is a new security company for the Super Bowl as of
a few months ago. A Small, lesser known one. If Marvin Bush is on the board, then I think we should be concerned, heh heh...

22. It's more likely, one will be "thwarted" in a dramatic fashion.
Think about it ...

26. Good point.
An attack now might work against the WH. They would have failed to keep us safe-even with wiretapping.

But what if they could pull off a fake attempt, thwart such "attack", and attribute the save to info obtained through wiretapping-that seems more rove-like to me.

24. If You Were A Terraist Commander, Would You Use Your Limited Resources
trying to penetrate one of the hardest targets in the country.

Or would you go after one of the innumerable other public events in this country, an attack on which would have just as significant propaganda value?

If something does happen, I know who I will initially suspect.

would be targeted at eliminating Jack Bauer, as only then would my evil plan have any chance at all!

32. I'd say the Pentagon is a pretty hard target
They (whoever they are - and whatever the limits of their resources are) didn't have much trouble hitting it.
