If terrorists struck us on Pres. Obama's watch, would the repubs impeach him?

[Philosoraptor]

Would they accuse him of letting terrorists sneak up on us and attack us? Would they blame him immediately and call for his impeachment and removal? Would the impeachment go as smoothly and swiftly as the last one did?

Now if a terrorist attack occurred on president mc cain's watch, there'd be an all out assault on the Muslim nations, but there'd be no call for his impeachment.

And if a terrorist attack occurs before the November election, maybe the country will fall for the old fear trick again and elect another warpig asshole (mc cain) instead of Obama.

1. Doesn't matter who becomes the Democratic President

you can bet that they will try at the drop of a hat and its likely for it to be over something that Booo$h has been doing in his Admin.

2. The Reps might try but it wouldn't get far.

The Dems will probably control the House and Senate under an Obama Presidency.
And it would look really bad for the Reps to try to impeach a Dem after an attack when they didn't try to impeach Chimpy.

3. The 2008 Election is going to weaken the Republicans so badly they won't be impeaching anyone

After next January the Republican party will be reduced to little more than a pest.

5. I wouldn't worry too much about that...

Since the actual terrorists live, work, hang out, drink and/or abuse illegal substances at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., that concern goes away if they actually leave office peacefully next January or, better yet, are held accountable for at least a few of their more outrageous crimes. If that actually happens I'll probably need my heart jump-started at the ER, but it's worth the risk.

However, assuming they manage to avoid impeachment or federal indictments between now and January, I'll be keeping my milspec-compliant, case-hardened, $15,000 a pop, titanium-reinforced tin foil hat close by. These combat models are supposed to dramatically reduce the severity of head injuries, even if the wearer gets hit by one of the small pieces of solid material present amid the usual clouds of pulverized concrete and vaporized structural steel.

You know... the kinds of clouds that form whenever jetliners crash into high rises, setting off low-temp fires in widely dispersed areas that somehow harness enough ambient energy to absolutely obliterate the upper 30 or so floors, and everything in them, turning the building's over-engineered infrastructure and exoskeleton from solid, structurally sound material into some unidentifiable vaporous substance with the consistency of talcum powder. Happens all the time.

Anyway, that milspec hat is just the thing for the urban hiker, at least until all the Bushies have been "renditioned" to the lost world of the American gulag, fitted with orange jump suits and settled into foul-smelling 8 X 10 rat-infested cells with mold-covered walls where they'll spend the rest of their hopefully long and miserable lives.

It can't possibly happen soon enough, though.
