Keeping people in Fear

1. bush can only engineer a hangover

Cheney, on the other hand...

2. My money's on AFTER the election...n/t

[The Sushi Bandit]

3. Really?

share your thoughts please...

5. If they want Iran, they need the "Consent of the Governed"....

Not just the "Acquiescence of the Governed"...

The troops are stretched so thin that a move on Iran will require a draft. Even with a new terror attack I think Bush and an All-Republican congress will have a hard time getting the kind of support they will need. But if a new conscription law were passed by a Democratic congress in response to a terror attack....

7. Could easily occur. Democrats would be forced into a corner.

[Junkdrawer]

9. And a Bonus would be that all the "Question the New Voting Machines"...

talk in the media would stop.

[Deja Q]

11. Given Bush repeated saidly and yelled "

There will be no draft as long as I'm president" during the 2004 debates, it won't be entirely easy to pin all the blame on Dems... But if Dems got control of both houses, it'd be easier to pin stuff on them. Still, if they want a draft, it adds cred to why so much is coming out against the repubs during this month. (the October Surprise nobody thought about, perhaps?)

14. Makes some Sense. Especially considering we will more than likely

go into a recession next year either way.

8. More

That's a tough question. But even that you're asking it begs serious consideration. I mean, it sounds beyond fantasy. But I don't think anyone can say there do not exist structures within substructures that work to bring about incomprehensible outcomes, regardless of the superficial perpetrators.

4. No

That would just make him look like an even bigger failure

[orpupilofnature57]

6. No ,even Kkkarl knows better than that , now. Thats not to say 9/11

didn't have it's answerable Benefactors and I know 5 yrs i'd scoff at the notion and I don't now.

10. (Cheney ) might if he doesn't have enough confidence

in their plans to steal the election.

[gulliver]

12. No, but bin Laden might do it to protect Bush.

That's my worry. I would bet that OBL will make another pro-Bush video before this election, just like 2004.

13. His supporters may. n/t

[Rhiannon12866]

15. He doesn't need to actually engineer an attack.

He can just manufacture the belief of one. He can just freak everyone out by sending in the National Guard to secure a stray soda can left in the subway. Anything that will scare the crap out of people will work for him...:scared:

[greeneyedboy]

16. nah, even that couldn't save the GOP's bacon at this point.

they'll work the news cycle as best they can, but they are also having to put out political fires all over the country due to their corruption, incompetence, bad policies, and lies. chickens, welcome back to the roost--not a moment too late.

17. I think they will "reveal" one

Less that one week before the election

[truthisfreedom]

18. they'll reveal a whole bunch of plots they've "stopped" and in the process

wreck a whole bunch of important investigations that are underway... costing us huge amounts of intelligence.

[JoMama49]

19. Yes, I rather think they'll try, but it could very well backfire on

them if the American public is more awake now than they're counting on. I keep thinking they'll capture some "Bin Laden" lookalike and parade his handcuffed photo around the MSN claiming they found him in a cave after some really incredible sleuthing, etc. etc. blah blah blah.

20. That is what i see!
