When the market completely collapses as it appears it may

[liberal N proud]

the terrorist will have won, The bu$h regime will have allowed the terrorist to bring America to it's knees.
Broke fighting two wars started by the bu$h regime squandering trillions of dollars on glass making equipment (bombs in the desert) and funny money passed to the cronies.

The terrorist that the bu$h regime have kept us in fear over for the last 7 years sat and watched the bu$h regime spend us into submission.

Mission accomplished mr. bu$h.

1. They will not only have won, but they will have won according to Osama's

long-term plan of engagement.

[Hugabear]

6. Exactly, that was his main goal

From what I've heard, he never expected both towers to collapse, although that was a "bonus" for him. His main objective was to cause the economic collapse of the US, which Bush has done an admirable job in helping him accomplish.

[Warpy]

2. Most of the real collapse has happened

because the market hasn't kept place with the inflation they've admitted to, never mind the real inflation they've been lying about.

It's also lost nearly half its value because stupid GOP fiscal policies have dropped the value of the dollar. There's only about half the wealth it represented in 2000 still there.

I said at the beginning of the year I wouldn't be too surprised to see it hit 7000 before Stupid finally leaves office.

I just hope I wasn't being optimistic.

[Mika]

3. They are one and the same.

[gateley]

4. They've already won.

We're not the country we were when we were attacked. Just look around. Look at the balance in your checkbook. Look at how impotent we are because we've lost all credibility, financial security and global good will.

This will just be the icing on the cake, and, I fear, make us easy pickins' for someone (China?) to take us over.

We'll see how we like it when some 'liberators' come to our shores and we're unable to defend ourselves.

I fucking hate this administration. They've destroyed America far worse than bin Laden ever could have.

[liberal N proud]

8. Checkbook? You still have a checkbook?

[gateley]

18. Actually, I don't. I don't have a bank account. nt

[MsLeopard]

5. I wouldn't be surprised if they all weren't in it

together. The Bushes and the Saudis go way back. I know it's :tinfoilhat: but it's possible.

[knowbody0]

7. My thoughts as well

Way to go. Yeah, we're number 1. Bombs away.

The russian empire fell down trying to find victory in Afghanistan. We showered the Afghani insurgents with all kinds of new weapons with a smile and a nod, knowing it was the best way to deplete the Russian economy.

We have been watching a ship of fools. We screamed at them and were called unamerican.

Today Ed Schultz gave his opinion. This was all in their plan, right down to the fall of Wall Street.

And now we watch as our tax dollars go down another of their drains bailing out more on the top of this very fragile pyramid.

Mission accomplished, indeed.

[Mishka70]

19. yea huh?

Yes, we did give the Afgans weapons(with a smile) to fight the Russians, and what do you think the Afgans are now using to fight U.S. troops in Afganastan????

[MissMarple]

9. Trust me. It will be a short term victory. Americans step forward when the writing is on the wall.

Got paint?

Humor aside, we usually do. Too many of us just need to be painted a picture. It takes them a while to process reality. But by then, the Bushes et al will be safely ensconced in Dubai or Paraguay or...where ever else they have safe havens.

[chknltl]

16. hmmm, I seem to recall bush purchasing property in Argentina...

or maybe it was some other sanctuary seekin' NAZI. Pretty sure it was bush though.
On edit: It WAS Paraguay, found this VERY interesting link on the topic: http://www.thepowerhour.com/news2/bush_paraguay.htm

[sarcasmo]

10. Better hope it happens after 43 leaves office. It would give them a reason to declare

Martial Law.

[anarch]

12. I hope that isn't the "October Surprise" this year

Surprise! Due to exigent circumstances there will be no further democracy of any kind...just the all-out fascism that Cheney's been aiming for all this time.

[Skink]

11. Time to bring in Osama.

Sort of a Sept/Oct suurprise.

Either that or Gomer Pyle.

[MadrasT]

13. If Osama's still alive...

... he's sitting in his cave laughing his ass off.

[stillcool]

14. I keep thinking of Halliburton's headquarters..

in Dubai. They say it's the Las Vegas of the Middle-east. I bet they all end up partying together..telling old war stories.

[depakid]

15. A contrary view

There's been a lot of homegrown financial terrorism (loosely defined) among the people in the US- and in the global markets.

That's sorting itself out.

All the hollering by the Bush administration about mass graves- and Iraq's illusory ties to Al Queda? We're now learning about what bodies are buried, where even more bodies really are buried and who buried them.

Same thing is happeneing on Wall Street.

There's a big change in how they do business- manage risk and look to the future.

My bet is that there will be a lot of Sarah Palin "supporters" who change their opinions over the next several days.

Whether that's reflected in cheap polls- who can say?

[jimlup]

17. I think this is an overstatement....

But as the next few months pass, we will see...

[Beam Me Up]

20. The only terrorists we've ever had to worry about are the ones on the

government payroll and, yes, they HAVE won.

[Twist_U_Up]

21. The sociopathic mass murdering fascists within the U S Government who orchestrated 9/11..

would like you to believe that four passenger jets were hijacked and crashed by 19 mean and nasty Muslims with box cutters.
Their absurd 9/11 conspiracy theory would be laughable if it wasn't for the fact that untold thousands of innocent people have lost their lives for greed, power, and money.

The only people who are still ignorant WANT to be.
