A faked terrorist attack or nuclear war with Iran - which will it be?
I believe there is now a strong concensus among many independent thinking pundits that The Busheviks will have to take some desperate action to avoid a total disaster at the polls come November. We all know that desperate people do desperate things. And these jerks are getting very desperate.

We need to spread the word far and wide to whomever we can that this Administration is very likely to stage something dramatic between now and the election. The more people are aware of this, the less likely it it is likely come about, or if it does, to succeed in its mission.

Personally, my bet is for a faked terrorist attack, including the possiblity of invoking martial law. This would be a twofer for the Neocons, giving them another reason to trump the War on Terror and the power the control any possible dissent.

A war with Iran, is much less likely in my opinion, given the current state of dissent amongst the generals and professional military people. It would be very hard to pull this off and could backfire big time.

Let us all stay tuned in and vigilant. We are living in frightfully dangerous times.

2. Neither, another attack on the US would prove that pukes have done nothing
to keep another 9/11 from happening, plus the fact that they can't blame the next one on Clinton. Using nukes on Iran would not get the desired effects either, people are seeing what a mess Iraq is and they know Iran would be the same or worse.

3. You are thinking like a sane and rational person
These people are totally insane and absolutely irrational. Look at what they have done so far. Nothing is beyond them. They will do whatever is necessary including genocide to maintain their control and power. Please don't be naive. You have to start thinking in a way you have never thought before. You have to think like a crazy person. Sick isn't it?

9. With a strategy of "imbedded reporters" and a barage of flag waving
Edited on Sat Apr-22-06 03:12 PM by AlinPA
they will have 60% or more of 'murcans praising Bush** as a "tough leader". Not supporting him would mean you are against the troops and are on Iran's side.

"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.

All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

-Hermann Goering, S.S., Nazi Germany

5. There is a third possiblity, a real terrorist attack that everyone
will think is fake because BUSHCO HAS DONE NOTHING BUT LIE TO US FOR 5 YEARS.

7. Perhaps one, and then the other
I'm a little fuzzy on the order.

Most people really believe they did all they could, and just couldn't prevent 9/11. I do think it would take a really big attack to get the populous back in line, though. How about an attack on three American cities at once, a dirty bomb or similar. It would be a nasty mess, but the people would be in too much shock to do anything but rally together and then call for blood again. Just my paranoid .02.

8. I think their just going to go for a war with Iran.. Gas will jump to
10.00 a gallon, and they won't need "martial law" because everyone will be so broke that the won't be able to go anywhere anyway.. (I think it will go to 10.00 a gallon, because I figure when we attack Iran, Iran will block the Strait of Hormuz, and oil won't be able to make it through.. Which will send the price of gas and oil through the roof..)

10. Beware "False Flag" operations.
False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than your own. Terrorist attacks may sometimes be in fact false flag operations, as in the Italian strategy of tension in which several bombings, attributed to far-left organizations, were in fact carried on by far-right organizations cooperating with the Italian secret services.

12. a wet fart
Edited on Sat Apr-22-06 04:49 PM by sweetheart
they don't have the political capital or control to achieve
either. The breakdown is geometric by the day, as the popular mind
realizes how criminally they have been decieved, the willingness to
cooperate without whistleblowing and leaking is not there.

Bush is already as weak as nixon, and his stinky wet fart presence
is a gift from god this year's november. :-)
