MIHOP in the making, isn't this too convenient?
Just donning my tinfoil hat for a moment:

So the liberal activist judges, the liberal media, the ACLU and the Democrats force the closing of the CIA secret prisons, which were an invaluable success at keeping potential mass murderers of innocent people off the streets.

ANOTHER BIG ATTACK HAPPENS, and guess who is conveniently to blame, the pansy-ass liberal leftists and, TA-DA, right before the mid-term elections.

1. There's no doubt in my mind that they will try something Rovian
Gas will continue to fall until just after the election. Key verdicts on repub crooks will be withheld until after the election. People already captured or plots already caught will be withheld just before the elction. There are thousands of little things that they can and will do. We have to be ready.

2. Think for a minute.
Repukes are making a great deal of hay by claiming that only Repugs can keep the country safe. So why, after 9/11, the anthrax attacks, Katrina debacle, and Iraq, would the Repukes want to have another successful attack on the US? The Repugs *know* that this would play right into the Democrat's hand.

You should know that's true, too.

3. well, like the OP said, they could just say
that we were attacked becasue, even though Bush does everything he can, having an oppositon party and a judicial branch only undermines US efforts.

5. fine line between MIHOP and LIHOP
I'm more of a LIHOP person, believing that they found out about the attacks and then did everything they could in order to make sure they happened.

There won't be a MIHOP between now and November, but if there is an attack of any kind, I think they might allow it to happen just for dramatic effect, and then they will use that very excuse about liberals undermining security efforts.

7. Neither LIHOP or MIHOP.
It was let it happen because of incompetence, just like every other thing that's happened on ChimpCo's watch. They are incompetent, ideological boobs who couldn't see an attack coming if it they had foreknowledge, which in the case of 9/11, they actually did.

Anyway, that's my thinking.

Peace.

14. so the terrorists
got fema to hold five drills that day, rummy to hold down the interceptors, then they jumped off the planes after they hit and planted the thermite in the buildings, jumped from those buildings and planted more domo goodies in #7, and convinced the secret service to leave junior setting with a bunch of kids while they flew around in god knows how many planes?

17. If it wasn't MIHOP or LIHOP
then it was the luckiest day of George Bush's political career, not to mention for the PNAC and the neocon agenda. I just don't believe in that kind of luck.

21. Coincidence?
Coincidence is a helluva weak thread on which to hang a conspiracy conjecture.
There have to be facts, not just conincidence. The facts just ain't there for much of the crapola that gets spewed about 9/11.

I've got to stick with what we actually know about the events. This will lead us down the path to the truth. And, no, it is not as reported by the 9/11 Comission, but it is likewise not what the tin foilers are saying.

Peace.

19. Incompetent? Hmm, I don't think so
I think Bushco want you to think they're idiots. I don't think they're incompetent vis-a-vis their own agenda. Quite the contrary. Besides, you don't rise to the presidency and cabinet by being incompetent unless you're earmarked as the puppet (in this case, Boy George). The rest of the neocons are quietly going about executing their agenda. I believe they have big plans to counter their naysayers. I'd love to be a fly on the wall whenever that blob of blight are in discussions.

Nope, this crew simply hasn't come all this way only to let raw power slip away from them. Nosirreebob!!


So yes,I think we can safely attribute the anthrax scare and concomitant deaths to Bushco. Their motto: We want unstoppable power and heavily ladened coffers. To attain this goal we will use whatever means are necessary. We're gonna make it happen, fellas! So if you ain't with us, prepare to D I E!! And while we're at it, 911? Label me whatever, but that was most assuredly an inside job. I don't have one iota of doubt.

6. Would you at least admit that..
if an attack happened between now and November (not MIHOP or LIHOP, but a genuine attack from outside without warning) that they would politicize it?

That they would attempt to twist it all around in swiftboat fashion to the point where it sounded like the Democrats went to the terrorists asked for this country to be attacked?

8. Absolutely no doubt about that.
But, that wouldn't work at all. People would take to the streets.

After Katrina and all the other messes, and after repeatedly stating that "Republicans can keep us safe" and "We haven't been attacked since 9/11," does anybody really think that another attack will help the Republicans? If so, I'd like some of what they are smoking.

Another attack sweeps the Democrats into power. Hell, without an attack, Democrats probably are going to sweep into power.

10. "People would take to the streets" - so what?
Millions of Americans took to the streets to protest the Iraq war. What happened?

23. Will it be between now and
election day? Or will that time be filled with the same old Rovian dirty tricks? Or - if we take one or both houses despite the usual tactics and the expected Diebold hanky-panky - will that be when the game is really afoot? Between election day and when the new congress takes office.
