Cuba, not Iran or NK, next on Cheney's hit list? |

As I've said earlier, I seriously doubt there'll be another 'terrorist attack,' because it will cast a fatal doubt on Bush's ability to protect the American public.
So, that leaves war (the Bushies have yet to achieve the ability to control the weather).
But, Iran, unlike Iraq, has a strong military that could inflict serious damage on our already stretched-thin military. And North Korea, in addition to a very strong military of its own, has nuclear weapons.
So, that leaves Cuba--a thorn in the neocons' side, who is no longer under the protection of the Soviet Union. Either that, or it'll be a horn-of-Africa country, such as Eritrea--but that might remind the public of Blackhawk Down.
Thoughts?

But I think the African scenario is more likely due to the fact that they can hide what's going on there better than 90 miles from Key West.
What would their excuse be? WMD's?

WMDs are sooo 2003. The East-African countries are already known as a hotbed of terrorism. It wouldn't take too much to gin-up a wag-the-dog terrorism story there.

3. Ahhh, the WH said that Bush will concentrate on 3 things until election |
|
1) Blacks--guess the African trip was his "black" thingl; 2) Women---this ought to be good; 3) Hispanics/Latinos-----Unless he invites the entire citizenry of Mexico to "come on over", I figured he would try to kill Castro before he died of natural causes. And man oh man, would corporate America LOVE to get its hands on all those cheap peons just miles from our shore.

I'm a woman and the very last thing I want on this earth is the special attention of Mr. George W. Bush. "Concentrate" indeed---seems he concentrated on making certain Ladies Missionary Societies happy when he started appointing "godly" men to medical commissions that oversee women's health issues. The anti-choice judicial nominations, the gag orders on family planning and on and on. But, killing our sons and daughters in his phony selfish war ....
feh! The very idea that they announce such a crass plan so openly tells you all you need to know about what coded messages he needs to send to his real base ("I gotta throw a few bones so I can get re-elected and thn its back to business boys!") and the utter contempt with which he views those of use listed in his categories that need concentration...
Hey you dictator, how about looking at All Americans as just that: Americans and having some damn respect for ALL of us everyday. I'd like to see you "concentrate" on that you little tyrrant!
