Why I think there will be another 'terrorist' attack on USA soil this year.

[sinkingfeeling]

Bush&Co. just haven't been able to gain any 'bumps' in approval/support with just 'foiling' extreme terrorists plots in the USA. It didn't happen when 7 bootless gang members in Miami were 'foiled' from blowing up buildings in Chicago. It didn't happen when Boston was shut down because of a marketing campaign featuring a cartoon character.

With Bush's approval rating continuing to dive and with some GOP unrest on immigration and Iraq, with whispers of impeachment, a Constitutional showdown on 'executive privilege', etc., they need something to base Bush's 'legacy' on. We all know history should record this administration as an absolute failure: Iraq, the 'war on terrorism', the deficit, the economy, the politicization of our government, and failure after failure in both foreign and domestic policy.

With today's headlines about the "irreversible" Iraq instability and 'Al Qaeda strongest since September 11, 2001', Bush needs something big. Chertoff's 'gut feeling' was setting the stage.

I think there will be a series of 'attacks' on the USA this summer. The question is whether the Bush administration will 'save the day', minutes before a bomb explodes or whether they will allow them and then 'rally' the American people for an attack on Iran.

1. You could be right

Of course such predictions have been pretty regular as long as I've been participating on DU.

2. I was thinking about posting a similar question today.

But I agree with you 100%.

[Annces]

I think they definitely are pushing this terror story

It is a way for them to get our attention away from other matters.

[zonmoy]

5. and to set us up for a false flag attack that will expand the war

and end democracy as we know it.

[Virginia Dare]

9. Expand the war with what?

we're already stretched to the very limit. If we expand any further, we've got no choice but to call for a draft, or the military will be facing a mutiny. I would imagine that the Republicans especially wouldn't be too receptive to that idea.

[zonmoy]

11. they will be fine with it as long as the ones getting drafted are the poor

and anybody else they don't like. also I think they would accept a draft as long as they get the tyrannical empire they obviously want. and a bad enough attack, nuclear or biological, would goad the most reluctant into supporting a draft, wouldn't it.

3. It is possible, but that would just book-end his presidency with

terrorist attacks on the US that he did not stop. Also the Pugs have not instituted the recs of the 9/11 Commission and so they too would be culpable for an attack. The dems are trying to get legislation through now. Right before the '08 election is more likely. I expect an attack on Iran to boost numbers. That will be a true disaster. The floodgates of attacks on the US will then be open.

4. Six years almost and Osama bin laden is still not caught.

Way to go George. Any attack on us would be georges fault for not getting Bin-laden.

6. Nothing will help Bush

Nothing. Maybe he can attempt to grab some more power but outside of that the gig is over.

[SoonerPride]

7. But isn't that what they tell us over adn over? No attacks here!

No attacks here! So * must be doing a great job protecting us. Our dear brave leader has made us safe. All that domestic wiretapping, torutre, and shredding of the Constitution was, well, necessary because damn it, we're SAFE!

So if we do have an attack what will be their motherfucking bullshit line then?

I so want * out of office. limpDick too.

[Virginia Dare]

8. Exept that I just don't see any advantage for Bush..

in the U.S. sustaining a terrorist attack right now. I suppose it's plausible that they would try something or "allow" something as an excuse to attack Iran, but I would think it will be harder for them to get all but the most avid kool-aid drinkers in their party to go along with it this time.

It could very well be that this is legitimate, and they are powerless to stop it. It could be just as plausible that this is all bullshit. The problem is, as a result of all the lies and deceptions that have come from them, it's impossible to tell anymore.

I guess we all just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best.

[robinlynne]

10. I'm afraid the second is on their minds, but I dont think the american people will

go for it, and i hope congress wont go for it.

[Marnieworld]

12. Let me guess? You just have a "sinkingfeeling" about it?

:P Yah, I know though. It seems as if they are priming the pump. Catapulting the propaganda to get us used to the idea. I lean towards LIHOP which really isn't that much different morally than MIHOP in my belief. At every turn to make us safer they choose what makes us less safe. They are spiraling and desperate and nothing ever stops them. It's very sad to even consider this of your gov't but I've gotten used to it now.
