Terrorist Attack within a year?

I came across this article today, and I thought some of you here might like to read it. It's troubling, but I can't seem to find any flaws in his logic.

1. Without reading the article...

... I *would* expect something in that way, since another homeland strike will be necessary to enable Bush/Reps to activate The Draft. (And I doubt they're doing much to prevent an attack, regardless of Ashcroft's proclamation of success. e.g. FBI way behind on translations, porous borders,...)

2. Well, America did make the wrong choice

Tuesday, 11/2 . . . According to Dick Cheney, we're bloody likely to have a terrorist attack happen because of that bad choice.

Historically, there was an horrific attack after making the wrong choice in the last election . . .

4. The Only Thing He's Missing Is Bush's Motivations and the Realization

that another terror attack, now that Bush doesn't have to worry about reelection is EXACTLY what Bush ALSO needs. Think about it. It would give Bush an excuse to start the draft, further crack down on our rights (think polic state, martial law etc.), invade another country etc. etc.

:shrug:

It seems sort of insinuated, but not said as directly as I said it...

6. He doesn't say so in so many words, but he does say

"Each side needs a demonic opposite in order to galvanize its supporters."

And later, "an attack on a church would rile American hawks like nothing else."

Good article.

10. I got the impression

that there are extremists on both side who would benefit from an attack.
This is a divide and conquer thing. Heck, it's working here. http://www.gurus.com/dougdeb/politics/Polarize.html
