Will Al Qaeda attack near the elections?
Edited on Tue Oct-10-06 04:33 PM by happydreams
I'm convinced that Bush will do anything to stay in power. We now have the threat of war with Iran, wratcheting up just as the Foley thing happens and the Repug Congress lurches toward election day disaster. Why was I thinking that Bush paid the North Koreans to do their little, very little, nuke test? It wouldn't surprise me to see him try to "postpone" the elections. Givnign the public time to get over the Foley stuff.


Here's Bush near election day:

Good Evening: Our sources indicate that there is a grave threat from Al Qaeda at present. I have always held that they hate us for our freedoms and that is why election time is such a dangerous one--its what freedoms all about. It is therefore, in the interest of public safety, that I am going to postpone the elections until the current crisis blows over....

Reporter: "But even during the Civil War we had elections, surely....(interrupted)

Bush: As I've said before (with his condescending shitface grin)this war is dif-fer-ant. We face an enemy that does not abide by the rules,blah, blah.

then its just a matter of keeping a perpetual crisis.

1. You know, I don't believe 9/11 was LIHOP
But if there is a terrorist attack within a week or two before the election (God Forbid) I will be cynical.

2. Well, since that would cause mass revolt...
...it would explain what some people say about the prison camps being built. But personally I do not think it is in the best interests of the controlling class.

3. NO! I think al Qaida is watching the US destroy itself and laughing!
I doubt they ever hoped to get all the mileage out of 9/11 that they did. Why should they risk any assets of $$ if we are doing more to ourselves than they could ever hope to!

5. I'm assuming that Al Qaeda is a CIA asset.
All of this terror shit is bogus. You gotta see "Power of Nightmares" by Adam Curtis. Also Chossudovsky.

7. Yea, if they can steal it again with alot of "close races" they
will. But it looks like there is a big gap opening up between dems and repukes.

8. what's October without a surprise?
Gee, people it looks like we've almost grown to expect some startling event to usher in the elections! Given our national history, maybe we should. Of course to admit this is to admit that events are being manipulated for political advantage, OH MY!
Let's not forget where this October surprise stuff got started: with none other than Bush sr. working behind the scenes to make sure that the Iranian hostages weren't released until his boy Ronnie Raygun was elected.
I agree that this terrorism thing is bogus. Most of the perps turn uot to be affiliated in some way with the security apparatus wether its in Madrid, London, the Phillipines or the usofa.
So when and if we are treated to another "AL Queda" attack against our freedoms during this hallowed election season think about the results and who benefits and get ready to forfeit another layer of your freedom and liberty to the authorities who are only there to protect us citizens from those who "hate our freedom". DUH!!???:banghead:
