will Bush LIHOP again?
a lot theorize he would if his ratings drop below 50% but I say no, for two reasons:

1-this wouldn't give him as big a boost as last time, people would be pissed he didn't stop it. he'd get a temporary boost but it wouldn't be anywhere near as big and would sink like a stone rather than gradually like before

2-he'd be way too easy to attack as he's been proven to be weak on national security.

1. He may MIHOP...
For Bush* to LIHOP, there would have to be a major terrorist attack about to happen, and I just don't think that's the case.

3. * has already MIHOP
The shock and awe campaign that killed @6000 Iraqi civilians and wounded who knows how many more, pretty much guaruntees some very angry new terrorist volunteers with nothing much to lose. The question now is whether the timing will be convenient for BushCo.

4. If * LIHaOP

he will be swinging from the highest tree in the Capitol: just like the little monkey that he is.

If * LIHaOP he will be looking
1-to take away any rights that we have now (under condition of martial law), and you can bet your botton dollar that Herr Asscrack will be only more than happy to fill the jails with anyone who would dissent.

Hey freeps!! This also will mean you!

2-* will surround himself with whatever dictatorial powers to insure not only another four+ years but also total amnesty for he and his cronies. You want to blame somebody then go ahead and blame Clinton's dick.sarcasm

I will not be shocked and awed into submission if * LIHaOP.

Be ready for it, but hope that it never comes. If it does then there's going to be one little chimp in Washington that will have hell to pay.

:mad:

5. Look for it about 2 days before the election...
...especially if he's behind in the polls and the re-programming of the voting machines to cheat in his favor has fallen behind.

It'll be used as an excuse to declare martial law and "postpone" the elections. I'm betting on a nuke "from North Korea" landing on LA.

7. This Misadministration is 24X7 LIHOP
there is not a single issue of importance on which they have not screwed up or done something evil.

I'm staying out of crowded places, scyscrapers, monuments, etc.

Likely though, the next MIHOP will be against US troops or citizens outside the US. Otherwise, Beelzedubya gets the blame.

8. don't think so
1. IMH(outside)O it was incompetence, not LIHOP or MIHOP.
2- I share your opinion: Another attack and everyone would question his ability to guarantee the security for the USA - despite waging wars to achieve it.

9. Too Late to LIHIP or MIHOP
It's all become too obvious, plus there's no way for them to pull out of this dive. Cheney's being roasted. Game over.

10. Cheney
We gotta dig Cheney out of that extensive underground bunker he built under the VP residence. We still don't know exactly what they were building over there, but the heavy construction equipment and earth-shaking operation went on and on, say neighbors near the Naval Observatory location of the residence.

Major fumigation should smoke out the vermin. Maybe Tom DeLay has some of his old equipment left from his days as an exterminator.

11. NO WAY. Another terrorist hit on the US would destroy this admin
EVERYONE has been put off by the terra alerts, the wars, the airport searches, the duct tape, and the ever-more-depressed (and depressing) economy. The Freepers have only tolerated all of this nonsense to prop up their prez. Another attack on us would demonstrate even to the most hopelessly clueless that ChimpCo is, at worst, evil beyond imagining and, at best, dangerously, horribly incompetent.

As someone once said, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...well, fool me, can't get fooled again.
