Headlines from The Future!
Edited on Sun May-29-05 03:13 PM by mopaul
drumroll...dateline, Jan. 2009, president rice pardons former president bush for all crimes and treasonous acts and he is elevated to ambassador to the world.

June, 2009, democrats complain that they are not allowed inside the senate building or in any other official buildings and go home.

2010, g.i. death toll reaches 12,000 since invasion of Iran and Syria. president rice says we will stay only as long as is necessary, and urges resistance to time tables and schedules.

gas prices reach $11.80 a gallon as s.u.v. sales plummet.

Canada refuses to accept any more draft dodgers, as Mexico complains to America about it's poorly guarded borders, which are flooded with draftees on the lamb.

a group of about 10,000 disabled war vets, mostly from the recent middle eastern wars camp out in front of the white house in a month long vigil to end the war.

....i can just see the headlines......

oh---and i almost forgot, 2012, Al-Zarqawi mortally wounded as he barely escapes u.s. troops, but they confiscate his laptop, and a video tape, as c.i.a. waits to confirm it's authenticity.

1. You may not be far off, if we don't reverse this trend.
It's very much what happened to Germany in the thirties. However, if Bush is indicted for war crimes, Condaliesalot will be brought up too.

2. How about this?
The universities in India and China are flooded with applications from American students who can no longer afford a college education at home as the average College tuition alone exceeds $100,000 per year.

And, Americans apply in the thousands for jobs in India that pay $5000
per year.

People rediscover the joys of never leaving the parents' homes as the average price of a home hits $1 million plus.

4. Or course
2010, g.i. death toll reaches 12,000 since invasion of Iran and Syria. president rice says we will stay only as long as is necessary, and urges resistance to time tables and schedules.

Of course, this obviously assumes that we'll be out of Iraq by then. ;)
