It ain't gonna happen, because any terror attack now would assure a McCain victory.

I'm not so sure. It might be spun as a failure of the "hawkish" approach. They already have a history of changing election outcomes with attacks just before elections. They did it in Spain and it worked. They did it in London and it worked. They may well think it will work here too. They have a track record of doing what they've done before. It's also not so much about what will actually happen after an attack, but what they ~think~ will happen afterward.

Agreed.

You know...

Terrorists can kiss my American Ass. I’m planning on traveling OUT of the country during the week of 11 Sep — you know why?

BECAUSE I CAN. Screw the terrorists, if they try to harm me, I’ll fight and I might die, but I’ll die free and I’ll take some of them sons of bitches with me.

...we will hit HARD.

"...we will hit HARD", or "...we will be hit HARD"?

[Islander7]

“...we will be hit HARD”

Mind works faster than fingers.

Thanks for the correction
