will the next staged terror attack help or hurt bushco?

[mopaul]

the first terror hoax, 9-11, has gone swimmingly well i think. it really made monkeybrain look presidential and in charge don't you agree? after the 3000 people were murdered by their own government, buscho got EVERYTHING THEY EVER WANTED, without the slightest complaint from democratic leaders. thousands more died in afghanistan and iraq for our revenge lust. so why wouldn't they do it again? why not another horrific slaughter to keep the party rolling? do you really think i'm insane after all these months to keep repeating this shit like a deranged lunatic on the street?

president dick cheney has ASSURED us that there will be another terror attack, not if but when. we know it's coming this time.
will be be utterly fooled again? will be invade and kill other people's nations again? will bush get re-elected again?

will the next phony attack benefit or bring down bushco?

1. Hurt.

After all of his supposed "efforts", charges that he had taken his eye off the ball with this Iraq war will stick. It also totally calls into question the principle that "Republicans are better at security than Democrats."

2. another attack--on AMERICAN soil

would finish BushCo.

it would expose them as utter failures at protecting the US while comitting BILLIONS overseas and diverting military/national guard away from responsibilities here.

so, watch for the attack to be on foreign soil, very likely against the military. BushCo doesn't give a rats ass about them and it would give them an excuse to reinstate a draft to provide additional bodies for them to grind up and through away.

but a US attack, whether BushCo was behind it or not, would be a end of BushCo. (imho, of course)

4. I just hope there is no attack

They could f#ck up and do something that could get out of hand such as a biological release here. These guys are capable of anything. I mean anything.

7. me too bearfan, but dick said last week it is for SURE not speculation

president dick said that it is definitely going to happen. he didn't say we must try to avoid it, or prepare for a similar one, he just simply guaranteed that another attack is immenent, as if he had utter assurance and inside info, which i'm sure he does.

12. Bush and Co will stage another terrorist attack

and it will put them back in the White House!
Americans will rally around the dunce in bringing
death and destruction to the four corners of the earth!
(Bush has been informed - through nuanced scientific circles -
that the earth is flat.)

15. If anything

Recently Bush said there would be another attack, but it would be "thwarted".

If anything, they'll set up an attack - but before any damage is done - Bush will ride in on his Segway and save the day.

3. It will be by the end of this year for sure

That is why they have the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 ready to go. They had it planned all along. They knew they would do it in 2003. These crooks have GOT TO GO !

5. The Bushies will simply escalate the WAR on TERRORism...

...and Americans will love him even more for kicking some third world country's ass.

- Don't forget that we live in a country where the WWF draws thousands of citizens to watch their sadistic matches.

- We're doomed as a civilization unless we begin to honor truth and integrity over 'winning' at all costs.

6. I agree completely

They are on a schedule. If I were Iran or Syria, I would be sweating it right about now. The troops are at the front (Iraq) and back (Afghanistan) doors. Remember, these people are experts at misdirection. NK is only for public consumption - there's no way in hell they would attack there. Also, no way they would "allow" an attack at this time on US soil.
Look for the implementation of the draft after the next sElection. I think they are confident of 4 more years, and are in no hurry. Get the natives under control in Iraq and Afghanistan, then fry some more fish.

8. depends

on how well they coordinate with david kay and the planted weapons evidence. they could very pull off a genious move -- or they could go to jail.

[Raenelle]

14. Depends on whether Americans are fed up with fear and hate mongering

or whether they will get so afraid again they will want a big strong chest-thumping big daddy leader to tell them he's tough enough and strong enough and gosh darnnit mean enough to take care of them . . . or at least get even.

17. The day that the vocal minority of Americans are fed up with those things

Will be the day that hell freezes over and Satan sells ice skating tickets. I think you would be suprised how many Americans there are with a lust for bloodshed. And with the media egging them on, it is only going to make matters worse. There would have to be a major, immediate paradigm shift in how the media operates.

The ambivolent reactions to hate crimes immediately following the 9/11/2003 attacks were truly frightening. The vigilante tone of Shrub. The kneejerk passage of constitution-curbing laws. The rabid implementation of "my way or the highway" slogans. And the lust for blood. Look for all this and more with another attack.

9. Political suicide

"Another horrific slaughter" in an election year would be political suicide.

They've had two years and billions of bucks to get "Homeland Security" in gear. Another large scale attack would be unforgivable, regardless of what Cheney says.

It would be proof positive that Buschco is unable to protect this country.

10. It would hurt and it would ensure a Clark victory

if he decided to run.

11. Turning conspiracy theories upside down

Imagine a scenario where a plane crashes into the Sears tower in Chicago and the building collapses into it's footprint. If in fact, explosives had been planted inside the building and were the direct and primary cause of the building collapse, with the role of the plane crash merely to be a diversionary tactic - if the media told the truth about the actual facts of the events, how would the public respond if the Government tried to sell the idea that the plane crash (and resulting explosion/fire inside the building) caused the building to collapse, not the explosive devices (bombs) planted at strategic points inside the building?

13. I don't believe it could happen to the Sears tower.

The Sears tower is composed of 9 "bundled tubes" for its structure, with about the same foot print as the WTC, whereas, the WTC was composed of a single "tube".

A similar plane crash would not do similar damage to the Sears tower at all - it has "redundancy" built into it, unlike the WTC, and it's at least 9 times the WTC.

When the plane hit the tower of the WTC, it sheared-off & destroyed more than 1/3 of the supporting structure at the impact point. The structure consisted of just the core and the exterior walls.

A similar crash into the Sears tower would have 9 such structures to deal with, with many intervening columns supporting the structure in addition to the exterior ring of columns and the core.

16. Sympathy for the Devil

Terror attacks are so yesterday. The next production will be a fake terminal illness, or a fake assasin attack. Anybody see the movie Bob Roberts?
