Cheney just guaranteed we will NOT be attacked prior to the election.

[TruthIsAll]

In his speech yesterday, he warned that we must not vote for Kerry, otherwise we will be attacked.

Ergo, we will NOT be attacked as long as CheneyBush is in power.

He guaranteed it: NO MIHOP. NO LIHOP. They already had one.

Kind of narrows possibilities for The October Surprise

1. Well that's good I guess

as long he doesn't do it between Nov. and Jan either. That leaves two possibilities:

1. "Thwarted terror attack"

or

2. OBL, who may or may not be the real OBL

[TomClash]

2. bingo

[nostamj]

5. I'll raise you...

Thwarted terror attack based on information obtained from a captured OBL...

they'll say ANYTHING, why not this???

[Cha]

3. Yeah, he freakin' did!

[keischin]

4. How weak is our security?

They are also saying, when pressed on the issue, that we WILL be attacked again no matter what, it is just a matter of time. This should point to a major failure of the Bush presidency: we are losing the war on terror, just as Bush admitted....before he flipflopped on the issue.

6. No way we'll be attacked before November. If bush wins, maybe after the

election (so he can justify more wars). If Kerry wins, almost definitely, with impeachment a distinct possibility. If there is an attack during President Kerry's term, the wingers will go berserk and it could lead to a repug Presidency in 2008 that will make bush's presidency seem very mild by comparison.

But they definitely won't allow an attack before the election--too big a chance that voters will hold bush responsible. What could happen is news of an imminent attack right before the election; election is suspended; due to the leadership of our war hero president, the attacks are stopped; elections are rescheduled for the day after bush's parade down Pennsylvania Avenue for delivering us all from evil.
