Terrorist attack before 1/6 ?
Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 03:15 PM by passy
A diversion?
How likely is it?
Will martial law be introduced?
What will the target be?

edited "martial"

2. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
Most people are guessing it will be the “capture” of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Capture is in quotes because it's been suggested that they have had him for some time, using his name to inflame activity, and will simply make it a news item when they need it.

A typical Rove stunt.

15. Well you should be.
We already know these people will stop at nothing even rigging an election and lets not talk about 9/11 and who was truly responsible for that. Do you not think that's it's better to expect the worst than to be hopeful and think that nothing will happen.
Did you really think they would let Kerry win the election?
I'm sorry but I've kind of given up hope that they will let us play fair anymore.
Be prepared for a very messy future when * starts using his political capital?

7. Yeah
Usually we go to orange and find a threat tape when there is this much negative Bush coverage. What time do you think they will announce the "upgrade" in threat assesment?

10. Just like the Osama tape just before the election.
My point is that these people, Rove and the others, always play dirty. If there is any chance that the MSM will start discussing irregularities in Ohio, which in turn could lead to investigations in Florida and other states, they are likely to come up with something huge to keep it out from the front pages.

11. Just a pet peeve. It's *MARTIAL* law
Not "Marshall" law.

Martial, as in military.

12. Thanks for the correction, I guess I was thinking of post WW2 US policies.
Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 03:18 PM by passy
And that was a plan not a law.

13. That would be the Marshall Plan
Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 03:19 PM by Walt Starr
which was the brainchild of Secretary of State and General of the Army George C. Marshall.

:D
