Toss in the holidays... such an emotional time of year. Imagine some horrible attack on Christmas or Christmas eve. It would put a cloud over the entire holiday and make people FEEL LIKE they're at war again. Entire family gathered around the tree watching the horror. Motivate the war fervor, you get 50,000 kids contacting their recruiter on the 26th (instantly, butsh gets his military growth he asked for on monday). Paralyze a new democrat congress from doing anything anti-Bush or be called anti-hristmas/America.
I really really hope they don't pull some crap like this. It just feels like they're setting it up perfectly. The only thing worse than a 9/11 would be mixing in a horrible attack with the holidays.
Edit: Immediately after 9/11, most of the US mainstream media sources removed their news archieves for the 3-4 weeks prior to 9/11. Turns out a great deal of that revealed anomalies in stock trading, terror warnings, travel adjustments, bin laden reminders, etc. If you doubt media complicity in anything, tell us why they removed their archieves.
