OSAMA CAUGHT

I wouldn't put it past the adminstration to do something llike this  (their were reports after 3 years of not saying anything to the Pakistani's that the admin was finally putting orpressure on them to catch him before the election or at best during the Dem convention).  Though I think a lot of it is skeptical at best.

My opinon guys such as Bush, Cheney, Ashcroft could be capable of pulling off something like that, but other members of the staff such as Powell would have no part of it and break the silence.

muon2,

I disagree.  Another terrorist attack would put terror at the forefront.  Bush is +10% over Kerry on most terrorism polls.  While another terrorist attack shouldn't help Bush, it would.

Its hard to say.  Bush does have the advantage in polls about handling terrorism, however another terrorist attack especially Al Qaeda could change that, especially with the Iraq/Al Qaeda connection the admin tried to put forth falling apart..  The whole going into Iraq took us away from the real threat (Al Qaeda) could resonate with voters

Some  have made the argument that the U.S is not like Spain and they voters won't "give in" like they did in Spain.  First off that whole basis is incorrect.  For starters to say a Kerry vote is "giving in" is  wrong in the 1st place 2nd it wasn't that an attack happened why the voters went the way they did in Spain.  It was the government lying about who attacked Madrid which caused the voters to vote them out.

You just made a point and then defeated it in the same post.  That took talent.

I thnk I worded it badly so I will explain it again.

The point I was trying to make is the argument that the Spaish voters "gave in" to the terrorists by electing the Socialist Government after the attacks is wrong.  They didn't give in to the terrorists, and they didn't vote the way they did because of the attacks.  They voted the way they did because the government lied about the attacks.

Now to the point I was making about Kerry.  Voting  for Kerry is not "giving in" to the terrorists

So people rightfully think Americans won't give into terrorism.  But because of what happened in Spain some people think that voting for Kerry is giving in to terrorism which its not the casw
