With no Orwellian "Boogeyman" to blame his failure on, I expect an attack

[goodboy]

on us, or by us to
1. divert attention from the deadly failure
2. end intense scrutiny and questioning of the administration
3. change public opinion on the govt.'s response
4. evade all responsibility
5. avoid any accountability

Bush's poll numbers have never been this low...not even just before 9-11-01.

Just a feelin' I have.

1. But he has momentum now...how low can he go!!!! Can't even do the limbo

beneath his numbers before too long! If he was a stock, I would definitely short sell!

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. If he was a stock... *lol* True!

URGENT yet easy! Hold the government accountable for Katrina's aftermath

3. An attack right now would devestate his numbers

Sorry, but it would be PROOF he is incapable of protecting the "homeland".

An attack right now would destroy the Republican Party forever. The Democrats wouldn't even have to try in '06 to take back the Congress.

[goodboy]

9. the "response" to the hurricane proves he can't protect the homeland, even

when they see the fucker coming! EVEN WHEN THEY CONFIRM IT WITH A $500,000 TAXPAYER FUNDED STUDY


If he did this poorly KNOWING what would happen, how bad would it be if they were caught off guard???

[lizerdbits]

14. I'd agree with that

Maybe they will announce they 'caught' someone that's been in custody for year but suddenly have evidence they were going to.... do some terrorist-y thing. But that probably wouldn't give much of a poll bounce and even if it did it probably wouldn't last unless it was Bin Forgotten, who they don't seem to care about anymore.

[LibraLiz1973]

17. I agree with you. An attack now would annihilate the repubs

[RONSTOO]

4. that chart is beautiful

yes I agree...an ill wind is a-brewin.


It involves Iran. Iran is a piece of the geopolitical chessboard and its attached to Iraq like a Siamese twin. The neocons when cornered will not fail to use the nuclear option. The new China/Russia alliance is forcing their hand as well as the rising American backlash against this junta. Like a cornered dog....watch out!


Stay tuned.

[goodboy]

10. I think it's going to be Venezuela before Iran. We can't pull off Iran

with the troop commitments in Iran Jr. (Iraq) and Afghanistan.


Venezuela is in our hemisphere, so it'd be much easier to do.

check this out:

VENEZUELA: Bush's next oil war?

Stuart Munckton

A statement released on March 8 and signed by almost 400 Venezuelan journalists accused the US government and media of a campaign to prepare the ground for a US military attack on oil-rich Venezuela.

According to translation of the statement posted at the Venezuela Analysis website, it begins by declaring: “As it was done in the past to Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Chile, Grenada, and Haiti, the government of the United States today targets the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela with all its media and propaganda power. In those brother nations, such campaigns served as the preamble for an armed invasion by the main global military power.”

The journalists claim the aim of the current US campaign of “lies, distortion, and manipulation” is the “overthrow President Hugo Chavez Frias' democratic government”.

In February, the Venezuelan government publicly accused the US government of plotting to assassinate Chavez. (SEE PAT ROBERTSON) Tensions were further heightened when the Venezuelan government announced it had detected the secret presence of “US Marines, along with military planes and amphibious vehicles” on the Caribbean island of Curacao, just 75 kilometres from the Venezuelan mainland, according to an Associated Press report on March 1.

5. He has two boogeypeople

One is a mayor, the other is a governor....Nagin and Blanco. They live in everyone's closet, and will get you if you eat too much ice cream before bedtime.

[goodboy]

11. that's clearly not working. See "How Bush Blew It" >>

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9287434/

"The failure of the government's response to Hurricane Katrina worked like a power blackout. Problems cascaded and compounded; each mistake made the next mistake worse."

[justiceischeap]

6. Maybe I'm too hopeful but I suspect he's beyond that at this point

This nation isn't even supporting his war in Iraq right now.

Bush's approval on handling terrorism and homeland security is 46 percent, a five-point drop from the August 2-4, 2005 Newsweek Poll. For the first time in the Newsweek Poll, more Americans disapprove of Bush's handling of terrorism and homeland security (48%). And almost half (49%) of all those polled say taking military action against Iraq two years ago was not the right thing to do; 46 percent say it was. This is the first time ever in the Newsweek Poll that more Americans have said going
to war was not the right thing to do than said it was.

7. What would you do if you were Al Qaeda?

If you were Osama Bin Missing, what would you do at this very moment?

Tell me this isn't scary shit. :scared: :scared: :scared:

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. stand back bush is doing a fine job

of destroying America,

[goodboy]

15. a heckuva job,

of destroying the planet.

[unrepuke]

8. They did drag out yet another threat tape tonight on CBS -

must have been made by one of the many #3s they have in the store room. This time it's Los Angeles and uh,...I forget where else -- Ho hum. Orange Alert ya say? ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz...:boring:

[goodboy]

12. the color coded fear mongering system doesn't work, so they use tapes now.

[applegrove]

16. They are looking for the Goat. Blanco? Was supposed to be an

easy shot at the people who willingly stayed behind. But old people and babies ruined that. Real Adults have this empathy thing that got in the way.

So dam. They let lawlessness occur with a dreamy-sleepy response .. a dog darn if their scapegoats didn't garner support. Man - Wednesday (day three of the flood) the Pentagon was wailing over that: "why do you care more for the victims in NO than what we are going though".

:cry: :cry: :cry: WE LOST OUR PET SCAPEGOAT! Why do you care that people who were told to go didn't go! Hell - wheelchairs float!

[bluedawg12]

18. Still that good? n/t

[skrambledchaos]

19. Tough to say...

While common sense says that another attack would confirm, along with Katrina, that we're NOT safe with W in office, common sense seems to be sadly lacking in this country. Common sense also says you can't have a war on a tactic, and that the savage war being waged in Iraq hardly follows Christian principles. If it happens, I fear that the public will again be so scared that they'll blindly follow what the Sociopath-In-Chief says. And that the majority of the Democratic party will claim that it's not a time for partisanship or "the blame game." :-(

[goodboy]

20. I agree that common sense is lacking in this country, but just like it

always does, the country is getting its conscience back, and it's reflected in every single poll we see. Shrub is failing miserably in every recent poll, which suggests that people are paying attention finally, and the fear-mongering and hate-mongering tactics aren't working like they used to. They'll have to raise the stakes. I think it will start with some throwing people overboard...Brown, Chertoff, etc. Then some Indictments ala Fitzgerald before the 2006 elections.

and then boom.
