What will happen to all our dreams
if/when the shrub holds Bin Ladean and Hussein's severed heads aloft at the Repug nat. Conv. in NYC, blocks from ground zero? Do any of you think they're waiting to spring this on us?

1. You think he has those heads in cold storage now?
Or are Osama and Hussein going to the convention on their own so Bush can win some points with the freepers?

2. I'm not sure about that.
But I think it's very possible some sort of "October Surprise" may happen.

3. Well, if nothing else...
I think they'd be hammered in the press for waiting for a politically-advantageous moment to unveil their catch. Beyond that, you just keep hitting the bastards on the economy, environment, and foreign relations, over and over and over.

4. Nothing. If he held those heads up it would simply create such a backlash

of terrorism both in the US and elsewhere that we wouldn't need to worry about dreaming. He didn't handle terrorism, Al Queda has spread as was predicted and if he were to show America he has the "biggest balls on his block"... all it would do is inspire those sleeper cells to become active.

If they do have them and are keeping it secret, THAT would be the first time I thought they did a single intelligent thing.

perhaps conan will save us
by cutting the head off the evil usurper just like he did in the film at the end, and then all the neocons will throw their torches in a pond and go home.

James earl jones played a pretty good bush in that film, i wonder if arnie remembers.

5. Metaphorically...
He may be nuts enough to do the severed head thing but I really meant some sort of "October suprise".

6. of COURSE there will be an oct. surprise..meanwhile we could...
get some costume-maker to make very lifelike heads of OBL and Saddam, perhaps hundreds of them, and go to NYC and demonstrate or march around the convention center with the heads. We could pound on the door and demand the bounty. ...the possibilities are endless.
help me here...got an idea for this idea...
