Who will BushCo invade in 2005?
Sorry, but today I'm pessimistic about our chances in 2004. What with the infighting, the media completely on board with full-blown worship of LordGodBush, BBV, SCOTUS locked and loaded for the next selection, and the terra terra terra cries freaking out the uninformed populace, I'm not sure any of the candidates have a chance. There is no indepedent press or media left to speak of and most people don't get their news from the internet. If we did have a free and independant press, SmirkCo would be gone in an instant...hell he'd be impeached and convicted.

Alas, that is not where we are right now.

Anyway, SmirkCo will have won the selection in my scenario and the Patriot Draft will be in place by July of 2005.

Which country is next???

Syria?

Iran?

Perhaps a little Eastern adventure in the Korean penninsula?

Maybe that oil rich country in south america we attempted a coup in this past year?

2. Well, of course. That is not my hypothetical though
If any of the Dems win the election, I don't see an invasion of another country unless that country attacks us.

3. Syria and Iran for sure
While North Korea keeps building nukes...makes sense to me.

4. The United Kingdom
... but only if Blair is thrown out of No. 10 following the Hutton Inquiry.

Then we'll be a rogue state with WMDs...

10. The poodle is nipping at Smirky's heels a bit lately.
How's that North Sea oil holding out? Got much left?

20. That's German's territory. It would be wrong for us to interfere.
They'll annex France shortly.

8. Junior likes to settle old scores. Cuba anyone?
Also, I think the Syrians should be pooping their pants since they're an Israeli priority.

9. hmmmm, now there is an interesting thought
Let's do our checklist:

Small defenseless country? ...............check

No nukes?.................................check

Florida electorate help? (Jeb in 2008)....check

Economic blockade in place for years?.....check

I think we have a winner.

14. Unless Bush reactivates the draft
The only thing he's raiding is the liquor cabinet.

He dosn't have the troops, or won't for long. Most guys are getting out, they've had enough. Our troop strength is going to drop to dangerously low levels.

As a draft dodger Bush dosn't have the political capital to activate the draft. After 9/11 the military presented Bush with a list of options, activating the draft wasn't one of them. Ever wonder shy?

There is a lot of talk about a draft but I really think that we will put a man on the moon before we start calling up soldiers.

15. No way that little coward will attack N. Korea
for the simple reason that they actually DO have WMDs and actually WILL use them.

The Busheviks are too cowardly to attack anyone who can fight back.

18. Our Armies are already at the Syrian border
more or less, seeing as how they're in Iraq.

All they gotta do is roll into Syria. Wouldn't take long. A few days?

19. N. Korea
The neo-cons like to start fights but they don't like to finish them. After Afghanistan, they intended to conquer the Middle East. Now that they've dropped the ball in Afg. and bungled it in Iraq, I think they will consider the ME conquered and move on towards N.Korea, then China. Vice President Wolfowitz (after Cheney croaks) and Secretary of State Perle will lead the charge.
