If the Grenade in Georgia Hit Bush...
Do you think that the United States would fall under Martial Law, or something equally harsh?

1. No.

There'd be a period of overblown mourning when it would be a mortal sin to say anything bad about Republicans, followed by more of the same shit without Bush's dim visage to watch over it. Eventually people would hate Cheney as much as they disliked Bush and the Republicans would still manage to win the midterms and the 2008 elections.

2. I dunno... but I hope he just ends his term without incident..
and fades off into Crawford never to be heard from again.

If something like that happened to him, the "sympathy vote" in '08 would make it easy for whoever Cheney selected as his VP to easily slide in.

5. 4 Years is a Long Time
For a man that the world hates to hold a huge office. I'm still curious as to why the grenade didn't explode. R/C maybe?

8. I'd rather there be a guard detail posted around the pig farm .....
but just plain "quiet" would be good.

3. Well, W said that Saddam tried to assainate his father, so he invaded Iraq
I'm guessing that when Jenna becomes president, we'll invade Georgia.

6. Never happen.
PNAC has no interest in going to war with Georgia.

Now, who threw that pinecone, er, grenade-like threatening object?

This event has my radar pinging.

10. Georgia, in fact, is almost a puppet
note Brzezinski's silly little "grand chess game"--they've encircled the Black, Caspian, Persian, and Mediterranean Seas with their little idiot friends and allies

7. I don't believe anyone threw anything. Bush will come out and say
something stupid like, " the enemies of freedom are everywhere". He will use this as a reason to get everyones attention and get them to think that he is on the right track. I think it was a set up.
