1. The first time
it took me a minute or two to figure out it was an inside job, this time I will know immediately.

3. I have already
destroyed my reputation with quite a few people saying this about the first one. I didn't need my reputation anyway.

6. Now those I
actually was using. I do miss them though. My reputation is expendable, I have ruined it many times and always managed to recover but I do miss my civil liberties.

20. With me
I'd rather lose my reputation then "go along with the gang" so to speak. If you deny yourself the truth you're only going to set yourself up to fall. I miss my liberties too. :cry:

13. Quote
"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof."--Richard Bach

hope you don't find this patronizing; thought it was appropo.

15. "...Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof."
Richard Bach wrote that? I love to quote that, and had forgotten the source. Looks like he's impacted my life more than I'd though. Thanks!

5. I think we should think strategy...
In case this is true and I do feel that it may be, although I have no proof other than my own instinct. Instead of waiting for it, let us use logic and the profile of the planners to see if we can create the most plausible scenario so that we can prepare for it or call them out on it.

Ideas?

12. Press for PROOF of who, what, when, where, how the hell could it happen,..
,...again (with all our resources being funnelled to war-profiteers shipping every defensive resource including our own National Guard oversees).

Seriously.

The next attack will PROVE that WE are not being secured but rather THEY are being profiteers.

7. you know what worries me?
Edited on Tue May-17-05 09:53 PM by jukes
i'm afraid that the war machine will find bush expendable and stage an assassination to create a martyr.


CAVEAT TO SECRET SQUIRRELS: this NOT meant as a joke, nor wd i ever condone any mention of this in a comic way. i wd consider an assassination of the president to be a terrible thing. i sincerely hope that nothing like this happens. i say again; the possibility fills me w/fear.

11. You are not alone with that fear.
That would send this country in a tail spin, of course any of the scenarios I have come up with in my warped little mind would also send us into a tail spin. We are so polarized that I hate to think what would happen. Whatever comes it will be very ugly indeed but it is really up to us to hold fast. I seriously doubt at this point we would all be able to pull together for very long.

22. This possibility has crossed my mind as well
Then the other day Woodward floats the idea of Cheney as pres. This is the scenerio that keeps popping into my mind because dickie may be too unelectable for even their voting machines, but they want to keep this group of PNACer's running the entire show.

16. If we have another terrorist attack I believe we have a right
to demand his resignation and the resignation of anyone connected to his administration for incompetence. Of course, we could demand that now.

17. Nationwide strike until Bush and his cabal leave the White House
Edited on Tue May-17-05 11:03 PM by Swamp Rat
I will talk to everyone I see 24/7 (which I have already been doing) and say, "doesn't it suck that Bush let the terrorists attack us again? You know what? I am now convinced Bush LET the terrorists attack us ON PURPOSE!"

Bush did it!

I don't give a fuck if it pisses people off! :mad:

23. MNA Day 3 just 7 deaths away.
Edited on Tue May-17-05 11:55 PM by understandinglife
We have a plan and it is legal, peaceful, and extremely effective if we have millions participating.

Peace.



www.missionnotaccomplished.us - Be it MNA Day 3 or 8 or 15 or .... the day will come when 10s of millions of Americans and others stop their typical activities for 24 hours and urge 10 times that many to join should another MNA Day be required. On that glorious day America will have begun truly to be "America," again.

26. At the very least the FIRST one was the one they let happen on purpose
Edited on Wed May-18-05 12:12 AM by TheWatcher
Although I think that one was probably MIHOP as well.

If there is another attack it will leave no doubt it in my mind it was MIHOP.

And if there is another attack, we must deal with these people.

Not AlQaeda Goldstien, Not The Boogeyman, but the REAL Terrorists.

The Thugs and Criminals who run this country.

25. Was going to say wasn't thrown off the first time, but I must confess that
I guess I was for a while. But the truth has shown itself and I will not be thrown again! It's funny because I was thinking this very thing on the drive home tonight. Trying to imagine what it would be like chaos or calm?

30. A part of me wonders
if they will do another attack. I think they have something planned in case other means don't work out. The Real Id act got through because of trickery and it being on the military spending bill and spineless democrats and republicans. In the House only three republicans voted against the bill (one from North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas). You know Bush probably wants to do a greater forum of martial law so he and his croonies can get away with what they're doing. But will they do it? Cheney talked through the last campaign that if they vote for the wrong person they'd get attacked. Of course now that they own all the government they will be the one's to get blamed for faulty intelligence since there is less democrats in there to stop them. I only wonder though if they'd risk it.

29. I'd like to believe it....
But all those things should have happened the first time too...and I got pretty suprised and disappointed then...

I fear the country has forgotten how to be outraged over true things.

But I can keep hoping :D

31. Oh there's no way I could be this time.
Even the first time, I felt horrible for the loss of life, I was shocked, but I never stopped disapproving of bush and nasty ilk.
