SO what do you think the attack will be?

[Horse with no Name]

I think that whatever it is, we better be ready with torches and pitchforks.
I'm thinking nuclear on the West Coast. I'm thinking Iran will be blamed. I'm thinking Bush will invoke those new rules where he supercedes Congress.
I'm thinking that if impeachment doesn't start happening in the next few DAYS, then we will have crossed the Rubicon.

[MrMickeysMom]

1. I think that whatever it is, it may be coupled with the bottoming out of the

markets. I am not expert, but all this seems to be converging this week, neh?

[Horse with no Name]

4. The jig is up

They needed to privatize Social Security to prop the markets up.
That didn't happen.
It's all gonna come crashing down.
But whatever it is, it is going to be sooner than later.

[movonne]

2. Planned...

[babylonsister]

3. I'm thinking you're thinking way too much! Or, should I be worried?

:scared:

[Horse with no Name]

5. Well ask yourself this

Do you really think George Bush really cares if we know what Miers, Rove, et al knows?
He doesn't give ten shits.
He is just stalling for time--and for that, you really have to ask why is he stalling?
He is waiting for everything to be in place.
And why does everything seem to be rushing in on the "terra" threats all of the sudden?

[uppityperson]

9. he's snockered?

[melody]

11. Bush is stalling for the same reason he's *always* stalling

That's what the GOP does.

[babylonsister]

20. It's really called,

"don'thaveafuckin'cluewhattodonext/now."

[frogcycle]

6. we can only hope

that it backfires

like the bungling watergate burglers

and it is readily traceable to the capo di tutti i capi cheney and his sock puppet

[melody]

7. I think, if that happened, it would cause far more economic destruction than they could withstand

You're talking LA, San Francisco, the Bay Area, Seattle, etc. The country would never recover from
one of its primary economic engines (California) being taken out.

If they strike anywhere, it'll be in an economically poor area. But while I think Cheney can and
will do anything to advance himself, I think there are enough people around him who would have to be
involved and would scream bloody murder.

Not going to happen.

[tridim]

17. Yep, they'd get nailed if they tried to pull that off

Too risky.

[rhiannon55]

8. I'm thinking you're scaring me

edited to add: But I was scared already.

[melody]

13. The doomsayers have been painting this scenario for four years now

Didn't happen then, isn't going to happen now.

Everyone from one side of the government to the other would scream if it did happen.
Everyone who knew about it. Economic chaos would result.

The GOP, at the end, really only cares about one thing -- money.

[Old and In the Way]

23. 2 things, actually. Money and avoiding criminal prosecution.

I honestly don't see the Crime Syndicate loosening their deathgrip on the Presidency. They got way too much to hide.

[madokie]

41. the keys to the white house will have to be wrestled from dick and w's* hands

but I kind of like to wrestle anyway so I'm ready

[Zywiec]

42. Yep, I agree with you

If it's not this type of prediction, it's the imminent attack on Iran that's is going to happen monthly since 2003.

If all these predictions of attacks on our country were accurate, why haven't we had any attacks?

[Occulus]

10. A "dirty" bomb. n/t

[Swamp Rat]

12. They already are attacking us.

with propaganda... "BE VERY AFRAID!!! THINK OF YOUR CHILDREN!!!..."

[madokie]

43. yep karl will be someones bitch 'fore too much longer

my apologies to the faint of heart and bitches

[Snarkoleptic]

14. The next false flag attack the Neocons have planned is likely in the heartland.

* will come out and say 'See, not even safe in xxxxx".
In his next breath, he'll blame Iran.
Only then will the "war pretzeldent" find nirvana.

[montanacowboy]

15. They have to make it BIG

I think they are cooking up some nice soup over at Ft Dedrick = you know, the brand they used to kill people and scare Democrats after 9/11, but this time something worse than Anthrax; blame Iran, start WWIII

These monsters will never give up the power they have, ever.

[Horse with no Name]

18. What is "odd" is that the CDC shut down Texas A&M's research into biological weapons

this week because of unreported breeches (that happened while Gates was still over Texas A&M).
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/metro/4939518.html


>>>snip
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suspended A&M's research on regulated toxins or microbes, known as "select agents," on Saturday after the university failed to immediately report the exposure of researchers to two of the agents last year.

The decision marks the first time the Atlanta-based agency has moved to halt all research on select agents at a university or other facility, pending an inspection. The CDC previously has ordered the temporary closure of selected laboratories, but not entire facilities, said CDC spokesman Von Roebuck.

In notifying A&M of the decision, CDC officials questioned whether the university meets safety and security standards and provides proper administrative oversight.

The CDC also threatened to revoke A&M's authority to research the biological agents if campus officials fail to cooperate with investigators.

[DemBones DemBones]

16. I'm praying nothing bad is going to happen.

I am so tired of the fear-mongering and arrogance. :puke:

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. A dirty bomb in a BLUE STATE. n/t

[The Straight Story]

21. Multiple fronts - fire setting, car bombs, electricity out, and last but not least

a dirty bomb.

[Old and In the Way]

22. The threat mentioned government buildings.

We know how much Al Qaeda hates Congressional oversight.....

[Horse with no Name]

24. I think everything is Al Quaeda because Georgie Porgie can pronounce it

Can you imagine if our enemy was the Symbionese Liberation Army?
By the time he was done butchering it we would have Lesbians attacking us...oh wait, isn't that Orally said was happening?:silly:

[EFerrari]

28. LOL!

:rofl:

[tech3149]

25. It's got to be a refinery or storage tanks in Elizabeth NJ

That will put a serious kink in east coast operations and that is the center of our financial world. Glad I don't live there now.

[NanceGreggs]

26. No attack ...

... but the last-minute thwarting of an alleged attack.

An actual "attack" would undermine the entire fighting over there so we don't have to fight 'em here and this administration has kept the country safe since 9-11 crapola.

No, something HUGH!1! that was about to occur were it not for the swift and decisive action of Chertoff and other administration-linked individuals.

ENDLESS MSM coverage of the near-miss, with the attendant media bells and whistles. The "See, WE are the party that's strong on national defence" propaganda campaign gets a big boost, and no one is talking about impeachment, investigations into WH wrongdoing, Gonzales, etc. for a while.

[Old and In the Way]

27. Of course, the attackers won't be captured alive.

Probably won't have enough DNA left to make a positive ID, either. But it will be a helluva story.

[NanceGreggs]

29. A HELLUVA story, yes ...

All kinds of people available for endless media interviews, gruesome details (with computer-generated simulations) of what would have happened had this diabolical plot not been thwarted, etc.

[tjwash]

30. And 6 months later...

...the alleged attackers will all be found not guilty, and the verdict announced on page 12 of the food section of the local paper, in 3 point font, tucked between the ads for preparation H and day old bread at Buford Mcfoodworlds.

No one will ask them for any comment, as all of the "reporters" will be scrambling to interview Anna Nichol's cousin's best friend's ex-wife's 2nd grade gym teacher for the inside scoop on why her baby is now wearing keds instead of buster browns.

Or something...

[NanceGreggs]

31. You are either downright prescient ...

... or you have access to inside information.

:rofl:

[tjwash]

34. Inside information?????

OH NOOOOOO!! I'VE BEEN OUTED-OUT!

[AR15-A4223]

32. For real

exactly

[oldtime dfl_er]

33. That was my thought

Why bother to actually stage the event when you can glory in the stopping of it?

http://www.cafepress.com/scarebaby/3263225

[NanceGreggs]

35. Exactly.

With the entire country engrossed in election fever, NOW is not the time to destroy the myth that a nation under a GOP leadership is safer than a Dem leadership.

Good God, that's the foundation of Rudy's entire campaign - his head would explode!

[Hest]

36. It's all good

There aren't going to be any "attacks", whatever that means. Relax.

[Blue_In_AK]

37. We were actually thinking something more along the lines

of a dirty bomb somewhere in the South, deep in Republican territory, that would get the bubbas all worked up and ready to kill all them A-rabs.

[snot]

38. What kind of disclosure is avail. about where, how they're invested now?

That'll prolly tell us what to expect. We need DU's researchers and financial types to dig into this.

[Rydz777]

39. Chertoff says he has a "gut feel" that something is going to

happen this summer. The guy looks dyspeptic, so it may just be gas - but he may know something we peasants don't know. I've figured for a long time that the easiest target would be a mall. We have thousands of them, and an attack on one would scare people away from the rest of them and rip the economy.

[muffin1]

44. Can you F*cking believe it

Homeland Security head "has a feeling in his gut"???????
Shouldn't we raise the terra alert?:sarcasm:

[MiniMe]

40. I'm thinking a dirty bomb in DC while Bush is in Crawford in August

They will probably be hoping to get a few congress critters too.

[Drifter]

45. Oil Refineries ...

They are on the inside, and can promise government funding for badly needed infrastructure improvements.

Cheers
Drifter

[slj0101]

46. Just like the last 5 summers- no attack, just a lot of fear-mongering.

I'll admit, all this has me on edge, but the rational-thinking side of me believes this is mostly some good old-fashioned fearmongering to prop up some dismal numbers.
