Subject: Cheney's upcoming terrorist attack

True, the GOP hate NY for being so liberal.
But I think DC would serve their purposes far
better, and I'm pretty sure they do too.
Several months ago they made arrangements to move
all federal offices that would be essential
to running the country if a terrorist attack
took out DC to 30 miles outside DC.
DC houses the only groups of people who COULD
(but not necessarily would) challenge Bush
martial law. The supremes might challenge
president-for-life Dubya the first. Unlikely, but there
are turds too foul-tasting for even Scalia to
swallow. Congress might challenge it, if both houses were
solidly dominated by Dems AND they grew a set
of balls. Top generals might challenge it with a
military coup d'etat to depose the dictator and
install a democratically-elected government.
It is also worthy of note that Dubya 'n' Dick
have both established a pattern of not being in DC.
Dubya by his widely-reported vacations to Crawford.
Dick by his widely-reported stays in his
undisclosed secret location. It will seem
somewhat suspicious if both of them are away from
DC the day of the attack but nowhere near as
suspicious as if they had a reputation for almost
never being away from their offices.
The nature of the attack will almost certainly
be a nuke. And when the crater cools enough,
in the centre will be found Iranian dogtags.
Dogtags mean the Iranian military were involved,
so the Iranian gov't ordered it, so the US is
fully justified in using nukes to take out "nukular"
production facilities.
Where, oh where, could Iran have hidden those?
Under its military bases, of course.
Which gives Cheney what he's been wanting for
months - a way to invade Iran.
On the face of it that desire seemed absurd because
the US military is broken.
Even starting from fresh it wouldn't have had
a chance against Iran which is three times
the size of Iraq and has not suffered from a
decade of sanctions.
But if you nuke the Iranian military first...
So my money is on DC. They might do NY too,
just to be sure (and because
they hate the liberals there), but DC is top
of the list.
