Even if they could, there’s no way they’d attack before the election. It might hurt Obama’s chances.
Yes, the timing is all based around the code word which will be simultaneously broadcast worldwide. The code word is “WHITEY” and will be uttered by their highest level sleeper agent .. (mischeveous grin)
Rumors are rumors are rumors. Funny that people seem so obsessed w/ them now.
I don't know. AQ does tend to do what they've done before, especially if it worked. They hit Spain just weeks before their election and definitely changed the outcome of the election giving power to the doves instead of the hawks. Then they did it again in the U.K. and they got rid of Tony Blair.
They may think that a strike on the U.S. right before the election will work on us too. And they might be right. We Americans have a short attention span, and there will be a cry of blame on us, for having taken the fight to them. Obama will leverage the "chickens coming home to roost" angle and could sweep into office in a landslide.
I do expect another attack, just before the election. What scares me is that it might work.
From now until November, we are the safest at any time in history. If Obama is elected after that, we will be decidedly unsafe.
