Time for another "Terror Attack"?
With the DSM posing the first real threat to this mis-administration, and terror alerts no longer effective (crying wolf syndrome), has anyone considered that it may be time for a more serious distraction? Time for another Terror attack perhaps? Has anyone done any proactive work to expose such a potential to a) possibly prevent such an attempt by the beasts or b) make the public question the real source should such an event occur? Any of those that consider MIHOP or LIHOP a real possibility must also realize this threat also has real potential to develop. Yes? No? Opinions...?

3. I think it's a very real possibility
Bush* et al were asleep at the switch the first time this happened on his watch. And, despite his running on the basis of his actions on 9/11, at the very least, he let it happen, and things in the world have become exponentially much more dangerous now.
:scared:

Before 9/11, we just had bin Laden and his Saudi pals pissed off at us. Now, however, thanks to Bush*'s unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation and subsequent occupation, we're looking at an entire region that's shouting "death to America!" Yikes! Not just the Saudis, but ordinary Iraqis, Iran, Syria, even our long-time allies, the Jordanians, have gotten in on the insurgency action! It's scary as hell!
:scared:

In 1996, on the fifth anniversary of the "first" Gulf War, Poppy Bush said that the reason that he didn't take out Saddam, when he had the chance, was because "it would have turned he entire Arab world against us and destabilized the region." Shrub should have listened to his father!:grr:

4. That's an interesting prospect I haven't thought about for a while
I am definitely MIHOP (reading David Ray Griffin currently) but I haven't started thinking about this possibility. Some of the players have changed so they may not have the right mix but, gosh, a terrorist attack this summer would certainly help enlistment, now wouldn't it? Gotta give this some thought. (:hi:)

5. A third "Pearl Harbor" is a SAD possiblility (very "third
reichist, in fact"), but this time, it would just PROVE without a doubt to most murkans that this badministration's policies DO NOT AND DID NOT MAKE THEM SAFER...

IMHO, that's kind of a big "deterent" for the * criminal junta to go ahead with this one, and I think they don't know and hesitate...

:scared:

6. A "terrorist attack" would solve many problems for Chimpy
Edited on Tue Jun-14-05 09:50 PM by zulchzulu
1. A "terrorist attack" would get the military sign-ups back on track.

2. A "terrorist attack" would boost Chimpy's horrible poll numbers.

3. A "terrorist attack" would begin the first phases of endless martial law.

4. A "terrorist attack" would allow for shutting down the Internet for "security reasons".

5. A "terrorist attack" would begin the new civil war, hence allowing Rex Alpha to purge leftists and dissenters.

6. A "terrorist attack" would guarantee Bush to get rid of the 22nd Amendment and become King (for a little while).

7. A "terrorist attack" would allow Cheney to become President after they "kill" Bush and make him a martyr. He will actually be alive and live on some island in the Pacific.

OK, some of this stuff is over the top...but the way things are going...these possibilities could ACTUALLY happen.

7. On the other hand..
.... another significant terror attack would make it all to clear to the American public:

$200 billion, 1700 men, the good will of the world all spent and we still cannot protect the homeland.

I don't think they can do it. We'll see.

8. Bush loved the 1st one, but another one is the last thing he'd want now.
He wants to his legacy being that he was the president who protected Americans from further attacks.

If we were smart, we'd be pushing the idea on Americans that we got attacked in the first place BECAUSE of Bush and his failure to read the writing when it was on the wall months before the attacks on us took place.
