9. Worth Considering
just so that one or two of us will have thought about it should it actually come to pass. But then I've always been up on speculation.
Torches and pitchforks!
Stupid pretus. Bringing a torch to a gunfight.

10. I don't think your nuts at all, I think you are bang on... The only thing I would add...
as of information I learned today... You might see India join Russia and China, because India is building a pipeline to Iran for oil...
but he does think about your nuts...

16. And China already has us by the balls.
They could bring us to our knees almost overnight with no show of military force needed.
A TWO-FER!!!

34. Don't forget the Minutemen
I always thought the real purpose in starting Minutemen groups was to provide future storm troopers for GWB's fourth reich.

60. Dragging out this old chestnut is keeping it nutty, not real
Jesus, how many elections were supposed to have been canceled by now? The transfer of power will almost certainly
go quietly and uneventfully, as it always does. Cathartic though it may be for tens of millions, the Bush regime is going to trot off
in January like it actually did something worthwhile.
****ING FREEEEEEPER TROLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

71. It nearly happened on 9/11.
United 93 was delayed on the runway for 43 minutes.
If it had left on time it would have reached its target and probably knocked down the dome of the Capitol (or the White House). The govt would then have been run entirely from Cheney's bunker.
9/11 was only 50% successful - the twin towers' destruction provided the "shock and awe", the hit at the Pentagon provided the "act of war" but the Legislature survived (so Cheney fell back on plan B - anthrax - to get them in line).
The way I see Cheney doing it is to run a Continuity of Govt exercise then switch to real-time during it (as happened on 9/11). That way the military response/clampdown will already in place and ongoing with no way of backing out.
the twoofers won't let this stand...

74. I see a mutiny, and the possibility of loyal American soldiers
and Bush mercenaries standing off in Iraq. I don't think our military will actually go in unless it's just the Air Force and Navy bombing.
If the oil flow is cut off because of a bombing, we'll have economic-based unrest in the U.S. There won't be enough cops or mercenaries to stop it. Because the country is so big with empty impassable stretches the results will differ from region to region.
