How likely is this disaster scenario?
The * clan obviously needs a boost, and they've been playing dumb for too long now.

Maybe I'm being paranoid but I'm at work and noticed a delivery guy bringing in a large package through the side door. In any case this could be a bomb, maybe even something nuclear.

What would happen then? Well first of all we are in the suburbs were a lot of middle class people would be wiped out, but not close enough to the city to totally devastate the property of the elite .02%. Next, * would contend that the UAE ports deal really was never a threat, and that Democrats were stupid to think so. Maybe the UAE would get our ports while we're distracted. Then, his corporate buddies would make a killing in the market by selling small scale radiation detection equipment every office building in the U.S.

Thousands dead but a few people related to * would get much, much richer.

1. With the poll numbers in the tank I imagine that a new war would be
just the thing KKKarl would recommend to his pal Dubya. Iran? Syria? Venezuela?

But the voters are already souring on Iraq, and truth be told, Iraq IS a holy mess, and so that plus the fact that we don't have enough soldiers casts a pall on the new war option.

A trumped-up terrorist explosion? God I hope not.

These folks are going to have to buckle down and bring some new graybeards in to run things. Three more years is a pretty long lame-duck session, and unless Iraq gets better fast, which is unlikely, the 2006 elections are going to see a Ms. Pelosi of California in charge of the House of Representatives instead of a Mr. DeLay from Texas or a Mr. Hastert of Illinois. And that isn't going to help Dubya's domestic agenda at all.

I think major staff and cabinet post changes are their only practical option.

3. Didn't get the chance.
Regardless, we get deliveries constantly and if a package had a bomb there would be no way for security to detect it. That why I suspect that the next focus of the Haliburton's and defense contractors of the world will be on marketing their product to consumers, in this case radiation detection equipment. Their consumer base for military equipment has to be maxed out by now and they need more buyers.

4. I'm more and more convinced...
that we are faced with a false flag dirty bomb scenario in our near future. They're not done with this yet.

5. I just have this feeling in my gut..
You know how a parent might sense that their kids are being too quiet so they must be up to something? I don't see the * clan giving a sh*t about governing this nation in a responsible manner -- where are the scholars helping * make policy decisions??

I'm afraid, and hope I'm wrong, that there are entities (with government ties or not) controlling things who will stop at nothing to obtain more money and power.

A full scale attack like the one I mentioned would put them over the top.

6. We all need to be vigilant.
I know many of the delivery guys that come through my workplace...but you can bet now that anyone I don't know is going to get a thorough once over. They're not going anywhere until I make sure the package is something legit.
