If Things Grew Bad for Bush, Could they pull faked assassination attempt?

[BabsSong]

For months I've thought that a faked assassination attempt on Bush could very well be one of those "October" or anytime surprises if Bush gets desperate. Then I saw something on Scarborough Country two nights ago.

He ran a clip of two terrorists threatening to kill Bush and Blair and they were speaking in English. I thought it was something just received over the wire. Found out it was ions old and these two dudes had already blown themselves up on another caper. So I asked myself why they were running this stupid thing. Obviously, it's intent was to heighten fear of terrorism and to draw attention to our noble leader putting his life in peril everyday (of course God couldn't get within a mile of Bush 'cause he doesn't 'do public'). That's when I wondered if this was a trial balloon. Noticed this a.m. our Underpants has a post about how Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. all are working together to run different things up the pole and see how people react. Given this was so out of the blue for no damn reason at all, could Joe be running this up a pole; or, or even better, preparing us with clips that will be run after the terrible "attempt" is made??? Think about it. This would focus all attention on Bush. It would make "terrorism" soar up the charts of people's concerns. And it is much easier than doing a little 'terror attack' on the nation as an "October" surprise. These people always do "retro" things and remember Ronnie was a victim of an attempt. I give this a fair to midland chance of happening.

1. it could happen---it's a desperate administration

2. Your mind works the same as mine, then.

I always suspect these tapes are made to telegraph whatever move BushInc wants to make to further their goals.

3. Entirely in the realm

of their reason. We know there will be a "surprise" sometime in late summer or early fall. I would put nothing past them!

4. The Power Elite will actually whack him

if they see the need, to push through their NWO fascistic agenda on their accelerating time line.

6. Yes

I think that's a very real possibility...It might not be fake either and the Chimp might not even know anything about it...The powers behind the throne might decide it's for the best...

7. I agree I think he'd pull that

I don't think it would give a bounce in the polls but I am sure he thinks it would!

8. Sure, most of his aides know where the pretzels are in the WH.

9. Then listen for the sound of fundamentalists' heads popping:

The pop-evangelical interpretation of the Book of Revelations says the antichrist will appear to be killed in an assassination attempt, but will survive.

10. Sure they can. But they better make sure they don't accidentally use

live ammo. They want a sympathy vote, not funeral cortege.

Same thing happened on Long Island three days ago during a Masonic initiation. Two guns, one with bullets and cocked-unlocked, and the initiator reached for the wrong one, and the initiate was shot and later died.

12. I've thought all along

that if he is keeps doing badly, Cheyney and his gang will need to do something drastic and I don't think they would think twice about doing it for real. They need to keep the WH at any cost. They could easily find another more appealing puppet.

13. Worked for Reagan

Not the faked bit, but the result. The public's regard for Reagan crossed the threshhold from wariness to supportive after he got shot.

14. They pulled anthrax, racine and A$$crap in the hospital....

stunts. They'll pull anything to stay in power.
