Does anyone here think that the shrub knows
where Osama is and is waiting until... maybe August or September 2004, right before the election, to get his political boost out of it? I do. I've said all along that he will do SOMETHING mid year 2004 to boost his chances at re-election. He will:

1.) Capture Osama

2.) terrorist attack in U.S.

3.) pull out of Iraq and declare it a "Democratic State"

I think they know where Osama is and are just waiting until it is politically advantageous to capture him. What say you?

2. "Trifecta II: The Final Reckoning!"
Seriously....Bush's chances of LIHOPping something else are pretty high if he really wants another term. 2004 might be the last chance for a real election in the US, and it's not above these crooks to manipulate and dirty trick their way back into power. Donald Segretti's mind would be blown by how effective their "under-the-radar" campaign has been so far.

3. The Regime has known it all along.
Everything they freaking do is for profit, monetary or political. They are saving Osama for around Labor Day, 2004. Iraq was a way of diverting attention away from bin Laden and, at the same time, lining Cheney's pockets.

After bu$h has had a couple of months to bask in this glory, look for troops to be shifted out of Iraq and back into Afghanistan.

:freak:

4. My theories
I don't think he's sitting on bin Laden. I think he's still free somewhere.

I don't think we'll be out of Iraq by November. No way, no how. And that will helps the Democrats.

HOWEVER, there may be another terrorist attack on us and he will use that to his advantage.

And I would not be surprised if WMD are "found" in Iraq in late summer, early fall.

6. I think
it's waaaaay too late for getting any political advantage if they find WMD. Iraq was suppose to be an imminent threat. Had yellowcake for making nuclear weapons, had tons and tons of biological chemical agents and mobile chemicak labs. They gave people the impression of a mushroom cloud over the U.S.....I don't think finding WMD at this late date will help at all. Maybe with the sheeple who already think he's g-d and worship the ground he walks on, but no thinking person is going to see that as wonderful. JMCPO

7. Well, I've found that the easiest way to analyze what * will do...
...is to take the most cynical political lie you can think of, throw in a dash of random, stir briskly and serve with a healthy side dish of spin. So, here's what I think:

The chances of a "terrorist attack" on the US are inversely proportional to the number of BBV machines in service. As EKR (Evil Karl Rove) sees his chances to steal the election electronically slipping away, he'll turn to the alternative strategy of staging a "terrorist attack" like two days before the election.

Why?

To declare martial law and "postpone" the election, of course.

So, what to do in the meantime? Pretend to support Bush. Lull EKR (if it's possible) into a false sense of security. "Maybe we won't need those BBV machines after all! His poll numbers are incredibly high! We'll rule forever! Muwahahahah!"

Tell me I'm a candidate for the tinfoil hat award. I dare your ass!

8. 'nothing fail like success
when working for the devil'
It's the neocons and reactionaries and 'patriots' who should be vomiting at the * successes....the bush gang are predictably criminal (which cannot be good long term!)
