All the political news that is grating my nerves as we speak got me thinking this morning while attending church. My mind tends to wander some times, and this is the line down which one of its tiny thoughts took it.
Let's say that we get to the elections in 2008 sans any terrorist attacks here in the U.S. After all, GWB is making an honest attempt to keep these terrorists busy in Iraq as he tries to build a self-supporting and reliant democracy within the same country and in Afghanistan as well and fend off all the naysayers who stand in his way. Then GWB says goodbye to the Whitehouse and the trappings of his presidency. No problem. Then let's say we get attacked eight or nine months into the next president's term. On whom will all the liberals blame the attack?
Well, THAT depends on who is in the White House. If Hillary or Obama, heaven forbid, gets the nod from us collectively, then the Drive-by-Media (DBM) will blame it on President Bush's War in Iraq for stoking the flames-of-terrorism while he served as president. This thought smacks me as funny, and forgive me if you see me making fun of terrorism because that isn't what is happening here. Nine months into Bush's presidency, the media tried to blame him for 9/11 since he WAS the boss.
The media gave no concern for the lack-of-action outside that Oval Office closet by its prior occupant when it came time for him to step up to the plate and battle terrorism. Suddenly, GWB would be responsible for the second terror attack on U.S. soil as well as the first according to all the “smart” people in the media. Terrorists attacked us a number of times in the ‘90s and heckled our “lack of response.” Heck, the DBM are still trying to sweep the attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa under-the-rug and hoping that no one brings them back into the light-of-day. Billy Bob (President Clinton) didn't do anything in response to those attacks and defends this decision to this day!
On the other hand, if we get a conservative in the White House, the DBM will, more-than-likely, try to blame him/her (Go, Condi, go!) AND GWB for the attacks.
You can bet that the next attack will not be anything like 9/11. We passengers will not let that happen again. Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us. My guess is that there will NEVER be another hi-jacked flight for the next 20 years, at least, because once these terrorists begin the effort, they will be mobbed by every non-terrorist on the plane. Heck, the only way a plane is going to be hi-jacked now is if most of the people flying on this particular flight are Muslim terrorists.
So be warned, America! Don't get onto a plane here in the U.S. where you would find yourself in such a predicament. It's preposterous to say this, but the 9/11 terrorists shot themselves in the feet BEFORE they killed everyone by doing what they did. There will NEVER be another flight that is commandeered by terrorists.
The next attack on American soil will be a nuclear attack. Will it be a nuclear explosion? It will probably not be. The equipment and skill required to pull that off are too great, regardless of what you might have seen in Fox’s “24.” So, more than likely, it will be a conventional explosion of radioactive material - a dirty bomb - set off in some large city to get everyone scared out of his/her wits.
