<snip>
Woodward said the possibility of "the Mideast imploding," cannot be dismissed, and that his darkest fear, shared by some in the intelligence community, is that terrorists are waiting until "multiple, high-stakes attacks" can be launched on U.S. cities and targets.

He said, "9-11 will be a footnote, but it could happen, and if it does, we will become a police state."

Even as he scolded the media's tendency to prophesy the future, Woodward offered his prediction for the 2008 presidential race.

By all indications, he said, Democrat Hillary Clinton is running.

He noted that Republicans have a long track record of nominating "old war horses."

Given that, and depending on how things in Iraq proceed, "You're going to think I'm crazy, but you heard it here first. I think they could nominate Dick Cheney."

1. Yeah, right. That's one I'm REALLY not worried about n/t.

[THUNDER HANDS]

2. its my belief

that Dick Cheney might be the ONLY person whom Hillary could defeat for the nomination.

[wryter2000]

3. Oh, sure

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: 29% approval rating -- heart so frail he has to have medical personnel wherever he goes. Bring him on.

[myrna minx]

10. This world of our is becoming so strange and surreal

that I'm growing more convinced that I'm going to wake up during President Gore's second term happy and healthy but marveling about the nightmare that I just had.

[Twist_U_Up]

12. We are in troubled times.

and the masses continue to follow like sheep.

4. Cheney's platform

Evil - Evil will be the law of the land

Guns - Anyone who is registered as a Republican will be given a Sniper Rifle and an Assault Rifle, Democrats will have their guns confiscated, but they will get red and white circles that they can put on their backs

Religion - Cheney = God

"Cheney in 08, because somebody has to break the rest of the Republican Party out of Prison"

5. His Mechanical Heart Won't Hold Up! (nt)

[Oilwellian]

6. These rat bastards...

they can't wait to impose total control over the American people. Cheney is polling in the mid 20's and Woodward thinks he'd be nominated for 2008? Has he lost what little mind he ever had?

[Caution]

7. oh please oh please oh please

He's about the only person I think Sen. Clinton could actually beat

[Twist_U_Up]

8. The scary thing here is Woodwards A Major Neocon

That are telling us outright what their plans are.

we are truly fucked

[FreedomAngel82]

19. Yep

You're totally right.

[FSogol]

9. Bring it on! n/t

[Buck Rabbit]

28. I knew someone would beat me to this, so this time I

looked before posting.

My second choice:

"Go ahead and make my day."

[mtnester]

11. I for one would jump for joy if he was n/t

[bunkerbuster1]

13. Ever seen "They Saved Hitler's Brain?"

I'm thinking we'd need a similar device to pull off this Cheney Presidency thing.

[Twist_U_Up]

15. They have one its called DIEBOLD

[SeattleGirl]

14. Will Cheney shoot me if I don't vote for him?

:shrug:

[Tempest]

16. Woodward is as credible as a $50 used car

You heard it here first, Woodward is a Bush sycophant with ZERO credibility.

[leveymg]

17. Woodward has been vacationing in Amsterdam

since he talked to Fitz, and was quietly let go by The Post. Bob's spending a lot of down time sitting alone, scribbling on the back of napkins at a backroom table in the same local "Kafe hause" by the main canal. Occasionally, he giggles shrilly to himself at his own mysterious, silent jokes. :smoke: He's a bad tipper, and doesn't wash often enough, but nobody's thrown him out yet.

Back to reality, Bob. Cheney won't even finish his term, much less be nominated as the GOP candidate for President in 2008.

Woodward gets stranger as he ages, badly.

[madrchsod]

18. woodward is insane

hillary? ya right....

[Marie26]

20. I bet Cheney told him to say that

Just like Cheney's cabal told Woodward another scoop in, oh, about July. Woodward has always been an Administration guy, and if he has "sources" whispering about a terrorist attack & Cheney nomination, I'd bet those sources are within the White House. Think about that for a second. :scared:

[LittleClarkie]

21. When did he go insane?

Bernstien and he don't talk much anymore do they. I wonder why that is.

[zulchzulu]

22. Lookee here...bats are flying upside down backwards barking like doggies

Cheney will be doing the dirtnap by 2008. That's my prediction.

[Secular Agent Man]

23. Cheney absolutely wants the presidency in '08.

That's why he's being so secretive about everything he does. Remember how it was kept secret about being the VP choice for the 2000 election? Same thing with the '08 election, he doesn't want anyone to know until he's ready to spring it on everyone at the right moment. Apparently he thinks it will keep the press off his back by keeping it under the cloak of secrecy. That's also why he tried to cover-up the recent boozing/shooting incident, kinda made him look a little too reckless. Not good for a presidential wannabee. And then there's the Plame affair, which he's trying hard to weasel out of by having the constitution twisted to cover his ass. My guess he's not happy with the co-regency with Chimp, a person Cheney probably has nothing but contempt for. Yeah, he wants to be Prez in a bad way. Never going to happen in a million years though. ;-)

[f-bush]

24. Cheney lost any chance he had with the

shot gun incident. Do you know what a good spin master who is evil enough like Rove, could do with that?

[flashdebadge]

25. I don't think the right would elect Cheney to be president. Nor do I

think Cheney will run.

[Lorien]

26. A draft dodger is now a "war horse"?

the Orwellian speak will never cease. :eyes:

[mwb970]

27. Cheney run for president? Please.

He is unpopular and uncharismatic. He is involved front and center in every Republican scandal. His terrible judgment and mind-numbing incompetence are responsible for the mess America is in today.

Oh, and he's ugly too. And a liar.

[WI_DEM]

29. we should pray for such a thing

he would be the easiest republican to beat--much more so than McCain.
