#1 Did she mention if they expect the attacks to come from jihadis or Democrats?

#2 Touche', RC!
Perhaps, I'm being naive, but somehow I expect that attacks in America will inspire rage rather than the Spanish response. After all, the 9/11 attack was intended to leave us whimpering under the bed, but instead resulted in the Taliban being booted out of Afghanistan followed by the fall of Saddam in rather short order.

#3 If we have pre-election attacks, Bush will be calling for counter attacks. What is Kerry going to do---call for duck and cover under the bed? Kerry will have to advocate counter attack also. Only problem is that Kerry has been advocating the appeasement and weenie approach for months. The American public do not take kindly to attacks, and Kerry will have already made his bed in the wrong tent.

#4 Then look for Kerry and Kennedy and the Democrats to start laying the groundwork to 'Blame Bush' if something happens before the election.

Look for Kerry and the like to start quoting Al-jitzz about how our troops are murdering women and children, comitting rapes, taking ears, etc...

After all - it isn't as if Kerry hasn't done it before to advance his political career. This time he can say he was only quoting the international press. He doesn't even have to stage a 'winter soldier'....

#5 Well, anything that happens now can't be blamed on Clinton like Herr Rove tried to do with 9/11--if we have a terrorist attack--it's entirely Bush and Condi's fault--now SPIN THAT!

#6 'Kay, NMM... if Clintoon had taken care of the OBL problem--which he had 12 opportunities to do--, there wouldn't have been a 9/11 and there wouldn't be an Al Queda anymore and we most certainly wouldn't have been where we are now.
Happy, asshat?
