1. Either 1 or 6...

I keep wondering, in the back of my mind, if it's just a tin-hat-type nightmare--or if they really DO have Osama under lock and key right now, just...waiting...for the right...time...in October?

2. It's a "terra" attack, remember? nt

[Minstrel Boy]

3. A terra attack blamed on Iran, leading to air strikes and ground war.

What can I say? An optimist I'm not.

5. A Trifecta!

DU still need a good sarcasm smilie thingy!

What can I say? I try being an optimist, but it's tough.

4. mass round-ups of 'suspected' caucasion american citizens nt

[Rochambeau]

6. I voted for a 'terror attack' too even if it's the most terrible scenario

I think it can concern american citizens, and a lot of them unfortunatly, but OUTSIDE the USA (of course ! Chimpy did such a good job securizing the Homeland...:nopity:)

7. 1 + 6 + possibly 2

PS I think OBL has been dead for a long time.

8. Ruch hour attack on the BART or MBTA, like in Spain.

9. Another terrorist attack would destroy the Republican party..

I doubt Repukes would even hold Congress after another attack.

Revealing a captured bin Ladin would have the opposite impact.

10. How about finding al-Zarqawi?

You can't help but imagine they can miraculously find him before Nov. 2.

11. Ain't going to be a 'terraist' attack

cause we are 'safer' under Bu$h.
Now if a real good terrorist attack occurs, Bu$hie will have a hard time explaining it. If OBL wants Bu$h in, there will be no terrorist attack until after Bu$hie's re-coronation.

12. terra-attack during the middle of the town-hall debate

with no book to read, bush* can suddenly excuse himself and rush off stage

broadcast will be interrupted by a "news bullitin" but with vague non-specific details about a 'possible' terrattack"

spin the next day will blame a nervous and/or over-zealous low-level flunky for hitting the panic button

However, because bush* rushed off the stage - this will be touted as a sign of his leadership
