*How many American lives will Bush support sacrificing next to advance his agenda? He should learn the lessons of the Spanish election

Rice: U.S. bracing for attacks before election
The United States is bracing for possible terrorist attacks before
the November presidential s-election, national security adviser
Condoleezza Rice said Sunday. [Is Dictator Bush purposefully pursing
an insane foreign policy agenda in order to trigger a terrorist
attack on US soil? To that end, Bush could extend the Patriot Act,
pass Patriot II, and even 'postpone' the general election. He cannot
(legitimately) 'win' in November. Therefore, the Bush terror team
needs a Weapon of Mass Distraction...]

I betcha...Bush will be kicked out of the White House when Kerry's replacing him going "BUT I COULDN'T DO *beep* ABOUT IT!"

EDIT: On a side note, this is my post number 1776, the year our grand old Declaration of Independence was signed. I'd just love to say that I love my country, and cannot wait the 5 years I gotta wait until I can join the Air Force Academy as a cadet.

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL!

Nice spin on that article TRA, read it people, TRA's paragraph wasn't there.

Bush let people who were very close to my family die on 911

Nah Rice is talking through her hat.

They are not stupid as the American are different then the Spain. The shrubs best support came from 9/11. Americans traditionally rally around the siting President during such attacks(The Maine, Pearl Harbor)

If the shrub looks like he is going to loose, they will keep a low profile as to not give him a boost for the election.

If it looks like he is going to win no matter what, then that is something else.

Savage: He is pretty close on what she said. She did say they were building up to the election.....

Nice spin on that article TRA, read it people, TRA's paragraph wasn't there.Give him credit--at least it wasn't a full on cut and paste. This is an improvement for him.

And what is the lesson of the Spanish election? If it is 'elect a socialist who will bow to the demands of terrorists' then I'm glad it hasn't been taken to heart. I think the thoughts and ideas of citizens should decide elections not fear of attacks.

Spain became more Democratic because of terrorism

1) The Madrid attacks weren't what sent the incumbent packing. His country was going through some serious crap without the war in iraq

2) TRA, please explain to me how dictating people's actions through terror is democracy.

3) The 9-11 attacks were planned for a long time. They didn't just get cooked up after Bush's inaguration. These were around for a while.

Of course, there were terrorist attacks prior to 9-11. So, it is entirely possible that these terrorists weren't being led by the hand by the Bush administration.

the terrorism caused blowback against the sitting toolbag

So, threatening to kill people if they don't vote the way you want them to is democracy?

Do you ever just stop and see through to the end of your line of reasoning?

You are really showing off some totalitarian qualities.

Some people say that if the Spanish government hadn't jumped the gun and blamed the Basques, the outcome would have different.

I agree thats why Bush should stop trying to use fear to get elected

Bush lies
who dies?
Prepare yourselves for the October Surprise.

We had right-wing terrorism and mob rule in the 2000 election.

A national election voted on by a committe of nine is anything but 'mob rule.'

Good point, Collaboration. :D

This is obviously more political spin and an attempt to shore up support for Bush's waining "Coallition of the Willing". With Spain gone and Honduras pulling out, it's starting to show a lot of wear. So much so that Bush has flip-flopped and tried to approach the UN to take care of the mess in Iraq and allowing the UN to appoint the Iraqi interim government.

However, the sheeple must be kept in line and, unfortunately, Bush tries to do that by raising the spectre of terrorisim while at the same time taking a swipe at the incoming governing party in Spain. Really, it was only to be expected.
