LIHOP & MIHOP DUers: How will Bush spin Al Qaeda has suitcase nukes story?
Now that Ayman al-Zawahri has let this cat out of the bag, how will the Bush Administration respond? Or does anyone think the Bush Administration is allowing this story to filter through the media as a trial balloon, much as they allowed Hannity to float the election suspension trial balloon last week?

I personally feel that September 11 was LIHOP, but that doesn't mean I feel that the Bush Administration is incapable of MIHOP in the future if their political future depends on it.

1. Yes.........
Starting a war in Iraq and getting Saddam Hussein sure has made the world a safer place,huh? That blundering blathering pile of shit in the WH and his claim of being the "war time president" and tough on "turrer" is a freakin joke. His obsession with revenge for his daddy sure has helped Osama and his gang,more than anyone could ever imagine.I am convinced bu$h and his nazis had something to do with 9-11. Where would he be today if it had not happened? Makes me wonder what else they have planned right before the election in Nov. Especially if Kerry is ahead in the polls. :puke:

2. “This proves that terrorists, WMD and Iraq go hand in hand!”
“This proves that the war in Iraq is a success!”

“We are driving them out of the woodwork and they know it!”

I'm almost sure that that drivel will be the song - as nonsensical as it is.

4. Don't let the smoking gun of Bush criminality be a mushroom cloud.
If one explodes on American soil this year, it won't be because al Qaeda got "lucky." It will be on account of complicity at the hightest levels.

A suitcase nuke is not a suitcase. It's pretty big - more like a refrigerator nuke - and without regular, knowlegable maintenance it wouldn't be worth much after a few years.

How do they spin it? Lockdown, election suspended, war upon war... You know, the usual.

6. I forgot.
If it's a problem in this country, it's Clinton's fault. If it's a problem outside this country, it's Hussein's fault.

7. I've said it before and I will say it again:
Bush and Co. plans to LIHOP a nuke in this country. That will be our "October surprise." And, afterwards, he will try to call off the November elections.

9. I think it's one they made up, isn't it?
It's been one of the GOPs booga boogas for years now. They probably made up Al qaeda too.

11. Abbreviations spelled out
LIHOP - Let It Happen on Purpose (Al Qaeda planned 9/11, Bush Administration found out, allowed it to happen so PNAC could have their Pearl Harbor).

MIHOP - Made It Happen on Purpose (Bush Administration actively planned 9/11, blamed Al Qaeda, and gave PNAC a 21st Century Pearl Harbor).
