24. they caught someone in North Carolina

4. Bush is his
main recruitment officer. Maybe instigating him by attacking his base will help him. It's too hard to tell.

7. You wish. There won't be another target for a while.
Bin Laden's and Bush's are good friends. 9/11 was targeted at blue states -- you don't think that was NOT on purpose? Apparently the highly educated, well organized terrorists couldn't even go on-line to check when Bush was going to be local before buying their plane tickets. Coincidentally, he went to Florida.

We were had by the most corrupt administration in existence. :(

16. Hmm...
Those who subscribe to LIHOP or MIHOP theories (and I think some of them have merit) might argue that the attacks happened while he was in Florida for precisely that reason.

Even if this isn't the case, it's plausible that bin Ladin (or whoever actually planned it), predicting that Bush's response would be an Al Qaeda recruiting bonanza, therefore wanted to be absolutely sure that Bush would survive the attack.

10. There's no need for Osama to attack Texas. It's a red state and
isn't even close to going blue. Plus, it would hurt the TX economy.. it ain't gonna happen.

12. Hey, I am already having a bad day here!
Let's just imply that I may get blasted off the earth too!

Actually, I have thought of this before too. It really is too easy to slip across the Mexican/American border.

20. That's what I'm thinking, too...
Dumbyass has hardly done anything to protect the border...one more reason I can't understand the strong support for him there.

13. Put a dirty bomb in a container.
Send the container ship up the Channel past a bunch of petrochemical plants. Boom goes Houston.

The elder Bushes will be out of town. They own an expensive house on a very small lot in Houston's 3rd or 4th most prestigious neighborhood. No great loss to them.

14. I love your description of the Bush house in Houston
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 04:34 PM by Furrvis
So true. As is the fact that any restaurant labeled "George Bush's favorite " inevitably sucks.

17. It is the waiting for the "gotcha"
that the terrorists use to aid bush in his grip on power.

Story -- golfers and handicaps.

At the start of a round the foursome assigned handicaps -- all numbers in double digits.

The fourth guy was asked what his handicap was and he said 3.

So the first guy swings and the low handicapped guy blows a loud horn just as the guy hits the ball and the ball dribbles a couple of feet.

All the other guys turn in anger toward the jerk that blew the horn. He replies -- I have two more gotchas.

bush needs another gotcha -- could be Texas -- hell he doesn't care who he sacrifices -- could be anywhere in the US. And then the obligatory OBL warning of more to come.

gush intends to run on a gotcha.

(the gush was a misspelling -- but it fits -- so I'm leaving it.)

21. Oh really
... the thought of our country being attacked by terrorists satisfies your passion for retribution?

How many Bible thumping Christian corpses would make you smile?

26. You would wish harm on your fellow Americans?
That is so twisted man. Why would you wish harm to your own countryman? We are supposed to be the party of tolerance, yet you want people slaughtered just because they disagree with us. I believe you are in need of a sanity check!

On top of that you make the faulty assumption that only Bushees live in the Bible Belt. How wrong you are! Bush did take Travis County (Austin). There are liberal bastions within the red states.

You got a lot of growing up to do!
