Cheney: "...especially in an election year"
Newshour, Fri nite, ol' dick going on and on about the war on terror, says that terror could happen "especially in this election year."

Good lord, he's giving us a warning. The warning is that he and the rest of the ding-bats who allowed 9/11 too happen, realize the significant impact another attack would have upon his reselection.

The only way we can stop it from happening is to make sure they know we won't let 'em get away with it. Let 'em know the gig is up and if they fail again to keep them from attacking, they will feel the full wrath of the people.

1. Unless It Appears that They Will Be Blamed...
...like what happened in Spain.

2. I think their game is to say that attacks may happen
in order to influence elections, as in Spain -- because they're saying that the Evildoers want the Big Bad Bushies out of office... They askeeered of those tough cowboys and would prefer a peacenik like John Kerry in office, so if we don't vote for Bush, the terrorists WIN! So even if there are no attacks, just by putting that idea out there, they're using fear to plant that seed...

At least, that's my take on it.

4. Planting fear, yep
We need to make it perfectly clear that Failure is not an option. That if they fail to stop another attack, it will be their total undoing.

So far, they've gotten by on 9/11, you can bet they are thinking they can skate again. We can't allow them to think that way any longer.

6. Right, and it needs to be clear that if there were an attack,
it would NOT be about terrorists trying to keep the Chimp from re-election.

3. if it wasn't
so serious it would be down right knee slapping rolling on the floor funny. but the fact of the matter is this is serious business, we have to stop this carnage. we have to remember that cowboyCo are feeling kinda like in a corner, remember how a caged animal is.

5. I dont buy the "surprise attack" conspiracy theory
If the US is attacked again and bushco fails TWICE how can they spin that as being the party to keep people safe? ads that say - "hey we fucked up twice, thousands died and if you let anyone else in they will be worse than us????"

9. I think they'd say it's just like Spain
and that a vote against Bush is "appeasement" of the terrorists.

13. and there is nothing wrong with that in this case
I was one of those who said never to negotiate with sinn fein and the IRA - I was biased since they killed people I knew and after the Inniskillen bombing they were only to be wiped out imo.

This is different - these guys hate the US because of things we have done to them and are doing now (not for things that happened hundreds of years ago as was the case in ireland). So if we stop doing what pisses them off (get rid off bush and get out of their country) is that a bad thing?

7. he's always said, it's not a matter of if ... it's a matter of when ...
Edited on Fri Apr-30-04 08:35 PM by cosmicdot
the Democrats should be lambasting his reckless, if not traitorous, rhetoric ...

it's close to yelling fire in a theatre

if something happens, he and his shrub are the catalyst and cause

8. call me crazy
but they planned for this a long time. they cannot lose with this shadowy enemy around every corner.

terror attack = rally around the prez against the enemy
no terror attack = the prez is doing a great job. give him votes and more money.

the perfect fraud. there really were terrorists. that's what makes their crap so perfect for them, and such a fraud. even better than the evil communists.

sleeper cells = more money and more neighbors spying on each other.
no sleeper cells = success putting them away. more money, stay vigilant.

the perfect fraud.

10. If we had an open and objective, indepth investigation of 9/11,
perhaps we'd be less likely to assume the worst with this administration's intentions. But since they've done everything to obstruct the truth and won't appear in public and under oath in front of the committee, I have to assume the worst.

They best be real good with the cover-up, because 1/2 the population of the US have their eyes open and expect the worst. We won't be taken by surprise like we were on 9/11.

11. Exactly
As you may know, since they have been obstructing Justice, I'm now 99% certain that they MIHOPed 9/11. They Made It Happen On Purpose. And they will do it again, if we don't stop them now.

12. Spreading fear!!!!
Up and down with the "colors" (until the cost for security went to high)
Scare the people helped always in history to stay in power! Look it up: who used fear to gain or stay in power?.................. History gives us the answers!
