The 1993 WTC attack and the 2001 WTC attack both happed early in the term of the new presidents. I'd say be on the look out for possible problems in 2009 regardless of what party wins.
They like to put the new ruler on the spot and see how he'll respond.
Candidates may campaign as "anti-war" candidates BUT every presidential candidate MUST be prepared to lead this country in combat. It comes with the office. The Commander in Chief. If he or she is unfit to lead the troops and unwilling to do so, he or she has no business leading this country.
Everything thing they do is timed and symbolic. Remember when Iran released the hostages...Reagan’s first day?

Bears repeating...
“I’d say be on the look out for possible problems in 2009 regardless of what party wins.”
I agree. 9/11 obviously was planned many years in advance. I worked for United Airlines, and after 9/11, I looked back on certain things that happened years prior to it...our suitcases and handbooks with security information being stolen from “secure” ares (turned out to be an inside job), “practice” flights (yes, I STILL remember the hatred in a Middle Eastern man’s eyes who glared at me during the entire flight).
Yes, 9/11 was in the making for years. They had no idea who would be in power at the time.
