So who thinks there'll be another "terror attack" before November?

[zanne]

I think it's the only way the Republicans will be able to stay in power in the House and Senate. If nothing else, this period will be a good reality check for me; if there's no attack, then I'm just a paranoid conspiracy nut and the Dems will retake Congress. If there is an attack, we're screwed, but hey, that'll mean I'm perfectly sane.
What do you think? What are the odds on an attack before November?

[SharonRB]

1. I'd say somewhere near 100%

Probably the week before the election.

[Zenlitened]

2. Nope. There'll be a "foiled terror attack." - n/t

[bunkerbuster1]

4. Taking down steel cables with blowtorches again?

ooh, we'll be so impressed!

[RaleighNCDUer]

9. Yup. High profile arrests, an entire cell brought down, headlines

for days on end...

but no trial for at least a year, and over that time the charges will be whittled down to littering and unpaid parking tickets. For which they will be convicted.

Just in time for the '08 election.

TERRORIST CELL CONVICTED!!! Seven Accursed (er) Accused Terrists Convicted on 4 Counts in Federal Court!!!

Arrest for '06, convict for '08.

12. OMG! That's perfect!

That hadn't occurred to me, but all they have to do is alert CNN that there'd been an attempt to blow something up. Nobody ever questions that information. (By the way,I'm glad you're on OUR side--that was pretty devious).

[helderheid]

19. and then martial law?

[BushOut06]

3. If only we had that terrorist stock market they wanted to do

Remember that? Gee, I wonder how much "insider trading" would have been going on? Of course these idiots know if there is going to be another attack before November!

10. Some right winger actually tried to do this after 9/11

Forgot who it was - Bennet maybe - but press got wind of it and idea when underground. Person was working for Vaterland Security at that time, but can't remember name.

[Nutmegger]

5. OBL will make another appearance

Then all of a sudden, Dems will be painted as "living in a pre-9/11 world". :eyes:

[John Q. Citizen]

6. The terrorists will attack Iran.

[Lerkfish]

15. this is a certainty: Bushco terrorists will attack Iran, within 3 months.

ok, a certainty in my own head, but still.

[AGENDA21]

7. Before march i say..

[FSogol]

8. Summer of Fear? n/t

[DoYouEverWonder]

21. That's all they have

Once you get over your fear, then they can't control you.

[Surya Gayatri]

11. Like AAR's Marc Maron used to say

when Morning Sedition's resident bookmaker Johnny K Street came on the

show: "Sounds like a sure thing. Put me down for a piece of the action".

[NoAmericanTaliban]

13. Probably a OBL Video or hight security alert...

haven't had higher security alerts since 2004 elections. An actual attack may backfire on Bush, but a state of fearful alert will be a big benefit for him.

[zanne]

17. Actually, I think OBL videos are the new security alerts! nt

[savemefromdumbya]

14. If there is an attack we will blame Bush and Cheney (lack of protection)

[Balbus]

16. Probably before the end of the week.

No doubt some poor Baghdad cafe or marketplace will get blown all to hell by a suicide bomber :(

[DoYouEverWonder]

22. You know

the daily attacks all over the world don't count unless they happen here.

[MellowOne]

18. I'm hoping for indictments in the Plame outing

Just before the election.

[murray hill farm]

20. I think they will stop a huge attack...

catching the "terrorists" coming into the usa via mexico...and that it will happen a little before the presidential election in mexico in july...that way it will be planned to influence the mexican election to go the way the usa wants it to go..rather than the way it will go, and we can start building those walls at the border as well...all good stuff from the repub perscpective...and it would be a win/win for those repubs runnning in november.

[fooj]

23. I believe that when Fitz has his ducks in a row...

all HELL will break loose.

Peace.

[lectrobyte]

24. Not sure they need one now. They are getting everything they

want without one.
