Something is up....Bush* took off a day of campaigning to go to WH

[spanone]

There is shit a brewing folks, you don't take a day off of campaigning in a heated rivalry like this to spend a Sunday at the White House. You can bet he's not watching football. These cynical bastards are hunkered down wondering how to steal this election. YOu can bet on that! Expect 'SOMETHING' soon.

[slinkerwink]

1. I think it's probably planning for another terror alert and zarqari arrest

[spanone]

6. I don't know why they would lose a day for that

they could have done that from the road. You may be right though.

[nostamj]

2. uh, see the "major speech on terror' threads

tomorrow, in New Jersey...

[spanone]

10. I did see that, but they could do that from the road.

In fact that thread said it would be from New Jersey. I think it's something more sinister....just me.

[havocmom]

3. just because I am paranoid, there is no reason to believe they are not

really out to get me.

Maybe the WH chef wants Osama outta the freezer NOW?

[ogradda]

4. it's unusual at any time

for him to be at the white house isn't it ?:evilgrin:

[MsUnderstood]

5. Could be several things

osama has been caught in China http://www.prisonplanet.tv/articles/october2004/151004binladenhandover.htm

Bush is practicing his Terrorism speech for next week http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/campaign_rdp

Or could be that his transmitter needed the batteries changed!

[popstalin]

16. If this Osama thing is real, maybe that's what B* wanted to talk to Kerry

about after the last debate (if indeed he wanted to talk to him).

[Mizmoon]

23. The only thing that gives me pause about that

is in the last AQ vid release the speaker was talking about "if we are killed or captured you must keep up the fight". That has never been said on an AQ vid before. It usually is full of threats and encouragement for their terrorist minions. It made me wonder ...

[metisnation]

7. Halloween

You heard it here first. They are going to use their fear tactics and do something on Halloween which falls on a Sunday. They will pose it as a good versus evil type of debate. I can almost hear it now the candy is tainted or some other type of BS.

[AntiCoup2K4]

33. Strategically speaking, Halloween would be the best day for them to act.

Total domination of the news cycle on Monday the first with no time for the hysteria to die down before the election.

Wouldn't put it past these sleazy fucking bastards :grr:

[sonicx]

8. no October Surprise. just more 'Kerry is dangerous' crap

[stepnw1f]

9. Yes... Right After Rove's Testimony Too

I wouldn't be surprised to see a disruption of the election by Bush.

[Lilli]

11. He's got a "big" speech tomorrow and

he managed to get a "See I went to church" photo-op in today...More hard work, ya know. ;)

[onecent]

12. I saw pictures of Bush and Laura at church this morning

Guess they went to Washington for their photo op with God

[alittlelark]

13. Could also be that his med's need tweaking

given that he appears to be falling apart at the seams.

[Reciprocity]

27. I agree, remember how yellow he looked at all three debates.

I'm thinking he may have liver damage.

[gauguin57]

14. He needs to get his Manchurian Corporation chip changed in the

secret White House operating room.

[michaelzef]

15. NFL

.

[WMliberal]

17. it's hard work making up false data

or maybe he left his hat? :shrug:

[meganmonkey]

18. on NPR they said he was going there to

work on the details of the campaign's final stretch

[spanone]

21. Yea, I'm sure that can't be done in a hotel room....

[LiberalEsto]

19. Needs new batteries

For the mystery box on his back.

[Fovea]

20. were I aQ about to strike

I would send a warning directly to * first, so that
1. in case of complete success, I could make sure that everyone knew he failed.

2. in case of failure bush's election would be guaranteed. Which, while a loss of the battle, would result in a strategic victory.

Either way, it will be used to rally the troop on both sides, though it will work far better for aQ.

Both sides want war, and believe they will win. I tend to be more optimistic that aQ is right. So far, we have them right where they want us.

[DemocracyInaction]

22. I heard a report today that says it was to "plan strategy"

..like "are the bombs in place in the schools so we can get the attention of the security Moms"...........Strategy to them is always something unethical, criminal and immoral.

[naufragus]

24. More info is needed

The speech is being given where?

to whom is he speaking?

when did this speech appear on his schedule?

[spanone]

25. I believe it is tomorrow in New Jersey.

[serryjw]

26. UK request...something else is going on........

[Doohickie]

34. Interesting... from the article:

Q: What have the opposition parties said?

A: Critics of the war have questioned why the Americans need 650 British soldiers to “back fill” for them when they have more than 130,000 troops of their own in Iraq. Shadow defence secretary Nicholas Soames has suggested that the deployment would be a “political gesture” to the Bush administration ahead of next month’s presidential elections. The President is anxious to convince voters that America is not carrying the burden of bringing order to Iraq alone. He also wants to demonstrate that he does enjoy international support for his policies and refute claims by the Democrat challenger John Kerry that he has left the US isolated.

I just finished reading Franklin and Winston by Jon Meacham and remembered that the married name of Churchill's daughter was Soames. In Nicholas Soames' biography on his webpage, it notes that he is the grandson of Winston Churchill. I also learned what the "Shadow Cabinet" is in British politics: They are the opposition members who are the point man for each of the cabinet departments.

32. Somewhere in Burlington County NJ n/t

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

28. Only in Bush's America

would we find it strange that the President is actually in Washington doing work for a change.

[Cha]

30. That's right...it's strange that he's in

the white house and not out campaigning like he has been for the last four years..especially this close to election time.

When he loses they can blame it on that one day he took off.

[TrogL]

29. Maybe he's doing what I'm doing - packing

He's only got three weeks.

[MO_Dem]

31. I predict that tomorrow

Duhhbya will announce a RED terra 'lert for OH, CO, PA, FL, NV, WI, IA and other "swing" states from now until Nov. 3. He'll say there's a very credible threat to voting precincts in those states, and most specifically to Democratic strongholds within those states. Anyone in those areas attempting to vote on election day will be in extreme danger.

[belle]

35. I think his fragile little nerves need the rest, really.

Seriously; it could just be that his handlers recognized that even losing a day would be preferable to watching Short-Fuse George disintegrate utterly.

[senseandsensibility]

36. Yes, but wouldn't

* just keep campaigning like the rock star (gag) that he is, and let the "brains" do the strategerizing? I mean, it's not they need his valuable input. He probably just needs a rest, poor widdle thing.

[barbaraann]

37. Perhaps to sign the new Intelligence bill.

I think I heard Frist say it might be done this week.

[karlrschneider]

38. That's where his stash is.

:eyes:

[seabeyond]

39. bush doesnt take a day off at white house. that is where the work

is and he stays far away from that as much as possible. day off, up north or crawford but never the whitehouse

[catmandu57]

40. I wonder if maybe it's a defensive thing

Maybe someone turned the right rock when kkkarl was testifying Friday, and they may be in panic mode, or maybe someone in the cia said by the way.
