Mark my words, a terrorist attack will come soon ...

[Kablooie]

if we keep seeing the Republicans being shot down.

I estimate that after about two more Repub scandals we will see a horrific terror attack on a major population center.

The Bush administration will heroically ride to the rescue, take charge and once more accost the American people with words meant to rally us around their 'righteous' cause.

Just wait. You'll see.

(and unfortunately most of us, and the press, will fall right into their open fangs.)

1. Yeah, just like we were gonna get Osama in October

Some people on these boards scare me. More than a little.

/waves to NSA

16. The squatter and his minions scare me more than the people on these boards

They have not answered all the gaping hole questions about their last gift horse 9-11. Osama was trained by our CIA. Who can prove to me that he does not still work for them? He sure works as a scapegoat for Bu$h`s blunders and war crimes. And he does not even come from the country idiot boy attacked with our troops as needless cannon fodder. Another 9-11 could easily happen. The media may just screw up and not be able to cover up the fact that it will be an inside job as was the first 9-11. The people that do not realize how low Bu$h Inc. will stoop to sweep their scandals under the rug scare me. More than a little.

2. Thank you Homeland Security Director

[malaise]

3. Too late for that

It's over.

[goclark]

4. the rescue stuff won't happen

Bush is not capable of saving Drownie or Barney.

He could hardly save any of us.

[Kablooie]

6. Maybe I should have put "save" in quotes.

[Just Me]

5. Um,...haven't the neoCONS already attacked us,...in full form,...

,...the whole population of the USA and of Iraq; or, are you talking about somethin' and someone else?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

7. They've just blown two chances in a row to be heroes

They not only couldn't get it together, they proved beyond a doubt they are incapable of learning lessons from day to day, never mind learning from history!

Even if (when) it comes down, they will utterly fail to impress anybody.

[Journeyman]

8. Ah, the old "Deus ex Machina" ploy. . .

only this time -- once again -- expected in the guise of a villain.

C'mon. Good storytelling begins with the plausible. Even bad storytelling favors results within hope of the narrator.

[MojoXN]

9. I suspect that you're right...

But I hope that you're wrong.

10. And we'd attack Iran in July...

[RagingInMiami]

11. But it will be much harder to blame this one on Clinton

[Kablooie]

18. Absolutely right. Harder. But not impossible.

[PowerToThePeople]

12. Terrorist attacks happen every day here...

Our freedoms and way of life are daily attacked by the current Neo-con power structure!

[jokerman93]

13. I'm not rallying for any new marketing campaign

Sorry. Rove can hire John Philip Sousa and project a giant hologram of Jeebuz coming on clouds of glory over Tampa. Screw 'em. They're played out. They're irrelevant. Any message they have to offer is entirely beside the point.

Whatever the next "event" turns out to be, we should proceed as if we're on own and just get through it despite how these bastards try to play us.

And we need to make that very clear.

Daz jus' what I tink!

[Dhampir Kampf]

14. yeah

Sounds like something they'd do though.

[Catfight]

15. Osma will have won if bush allows another attack. Then everything

bush/cheney claimed during the debates will fall back on them three-fold. Even the stoutest of bush followers would have a hard time believing their false prophet could save amerika from the evil doers. Plus, Osma being still at large and able to attack the US means bush has already lost everything he claimed he stood for. Bush's legacy is already carved in stone, he's been more damaging to everything america, that it'll be interesting if anyone can repair it in the next decade. Anyone that has a traitor as his right hand guy deserves what he sows.

17. Katrina and Rita were two attacks by Mother Nature that they couldn't spin

...to their favor...so I seriously doubt they'll pull another 9/11.

[Kablooie]

19. Ah, but they didn't have advance warning of Katrina and Rita.

[expatriate]

20. After all this time of grandstanding about the war on terra

and the formation of the Office Of Homeland Security, and all the noise about how we're winning the war on terra and how they're being so tough on terra -

wouldn't a terrorist attack right now just make Bush and Co. look even more incompetent and incapable than they look right now? "Oh look, all that money spent on the war on terra, and the terrorists can still get at us" "Well gee, if he couldn't predict that a Category Five hurricane that took a week to hit the Gulf Coast was a menace, how do you expect him to be able to do anything about terrorists operating in secret?"

A terrorist attack right now would NOT be a favor to Bush. There will not be a terrorist attack.
