predictions anyone?
2006 elections are this year....and the GOP are bleeding from the Iraq war - and from corruption from within. Bush has been targeted for illegally spying on Americans without the necessary warrents. And so - how to save the debacle and ensure that the GOP continue to prevail in congress and senate - that is the billion dollar question....well how about some predictions......

Here is mine -
1.Osama Bin Laden releases a tape threatening the US.
2. 1st part of February - there is a massive terror attack on US soil. Al Quaida gloats. Bush riles.
3. Bushco announces that Iran is supporting Al Quaida. The wardrums beat for invasion or at the very least - a strategic attack on Iran to snuff out its nuclear ambitions.
4. March - Bush announces that America will begin the pullout of Iraq and initiate attacking Iran - with a direct attack on its nuclear facilities.
5. The GOP - will once again prevail in elections after everyone is still shell shocked from the terror attack in February.

Perhaps my tinfoil hat is too tight - but then again......Iran IS going to switch on the oil bourse in March and would sell its oil in other currencies other than the American greenback.....devalueing the dollar - collapsing the American economy with a devastating devaluation.

History repeats itself.......

1. One correction only
You stole my predictions, but you're incorrect on one count.

1) Osama bin Laden will appear in Washington Square, NY on a daily basis as the newest spouting loony. The Bush administration still will not be able to find him.

4. Yesterday
I wondered if our NSA spying would suddenly find out he was residing in Iran. I see you have tied it nicely together, much more likely than my idea.

6. FIRST, they will let the Patriot Act expire and blame it on Dems,
then comes the attack so they can, again, blame THAT on the Dems because THEY let the Patriot Act expire. There will be some kind of terrorist attack late this year. Probably around mid-October....BUT it will backfire on their asses and they will lose IF we get rid of evoting.

7. Another terrorist attack of 9/11 proportions in the US will not benefit
Bush the way it did five years ago, and there goes the tired arguement, "There's a reason for no terrorist attack since 9/11"

8. Yep, as long as legitimate questions about 9/11 are ignored.
Edited on Fri Jan-20-06 12:04 PM by Junkdrawer
"What was in those 28 pages?"
"Why did the FAA destroy their controller tapes?"
"Why were our defenses out of place on 9/11?"

I suspect members of the Saudi Government, with the help of a few highly placed NeoCons, were behind 9/11.

And they can blackmail us into silence forever -OR- until we acknowledge the elephant in the room.

9. EVERYTHING anyone predicts to happen will revolve around THIS date
May 9, 2006

Why?

Ohio Senate Gubernatorial Primary, Republican and Democratic. Period.

Buscho's/PNAC's regime is in terrible danger in Ohio, and they know it. Whatever they do, they have to make it benefit Mike DeWine (who is polling below both Hackett and Brown) and Ken Blackwell (who is in too tight a race with Jim Petro. Petro, who is NOT kissing as much ass as Blackwell...plus, Georgie owes Blackwell a HUGE favor)...NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, NO MATTER HOW IT IS DONE, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES, including, but not limited to, killing their own citizens, it WILL BE DONE and has already been planned. Set into motion, and message JUST delivered by their buddy Osama (or a reasonable fascimile)

So, whatever is going to happen will be close to that time, you know, for full emotional and knee jerk effect.

10. Iran
I think it is much more likely that Israel hits Iran's nuclear facilities just like did to Iraq's a couple of decades ago. A one shot bombing run that they do on their own timetable without publically asking or informing anyone.
