Could the "October Suprise" come from OUTSIDE ... and bite Shrubya?
Saw another comment about some foreign markets not wanting to 'Buy American' goods...

It's pretty well known by now that the rest of the world hates SHRUBYA (not necessarly the US).

What if...

sometime starting in maybe late September...

- foreign companies start cancelling/scaling back orders for goods.
- some foreign companies stop selling/scaling back sale to US Companies
- maybe even decline to accept/ship from individuals
- Countries place incredibly high tarrifs on US imports or
- flat out BAN US imports

and quite simply say "it's because of the actions in Iraq" (choose your own detailed reason... war, lies, torture...)

How fast would Shrubya sink in the polls?
Would the 'pugs decide to dump him from the ticket?
Who would resign from the adminstration and how fast? (Rumsfart? Dickhead? Even Shrubya himself??)

1. America is just "Human Shields" for Bush and his cronies
Bush has secret, secure locations, vacation spots on the Riveira, rich friends all over the world - he can stay in luxury anytime he wants in Saudi Arabia.

Bush wants terrorism - so far, that the only way he gets good polls and good press. Now that he has united the entire world against us, gotten American sucker-punched by Saudi Arabia, Israel, Russia, and China, if someone else doesn't attack us Bush will surely hire someone to do it himself. He can't win a fair election, and now America is more united than ever against him. So expect a terrorist attack, right near the elections. For God's sake, they've been repeating it over and over again since Tommy Franks did last year. Why do we assume they are joking?

3. Terrorism is the LAST hing Bush wants now.
It would be living proof that nothing he has done has made us any safer. It would underscore his failed "war on terrorism" in a BIG way.
