There won't be another terrorist attack when Bush's ratings drop
It won't work for him this time. Now people will blame him for not preventing it. The Dem candidate will walk over him talking about how after 9/11 he couldn't prevent another attack and he's ineffecient at national security. It might give him a minor boost at first, but it'll hurt him big time in the long run.

Don't worry. Bush won't LIHOP or MIHOP again. It could just work against him far too much.

1. there is a possible, frightening, loophole..
I agree that if another LIHOP takes place, I know at least MY rallying cry will be "Bush failed to protect us"... however, I suppose if the LIHOP is horrendous enough, they can declare martial law and ship me down to Guantanim for saying it! :scared:


then it won't be a matter of convincing the public, but controlling


would still be the end of them, IMHO, but they would be able to hang on for a little while, as we start disappearing....

I fear martial law is ALL they have left at this point!

2. No, just probably a lot of "near misses...."
so that Bushies can claim credit for stopping, and the public can remain scared.

4. That's my estimation, too! Always has been!
Another one is 9/11 happened on bushwatch and condi rice is the Worst National Security Advisor in History!

They were all aspleep at the wheel! They dropped the ball that Clinton gave them.

They have been fumbling ever since.
