Default So what do YOU think the "october surprise" will be?

McCain can't win without another 9-11 this month. That is what worries me. How far will the Neocons and Israel go to keep the republicans in power? Don't give me that look. Removal of Saddam Hussein from power was an Israeli strategic onjective, not an American one. I don't have a problem with that per se. I would like to see the IDF fighting in Iraq and dieing along with the American kids however, instead of sitting over their acting innocent.

Ok, back to the post. What would it be? Small nuke on a worthless American city? Dirty bomb? Gas attack? Start a war with Iran? A fake Bin Laden "kill/capture". Then they can say "oops", after McCain gets elected.

Now this is NOT a 9-11 inside job thread, but I do not believe the official 9-11 or British 7-7 story. Just too coincidental that there were military "exercises" going on BOTH times. I am stating what I think, so don't derail it into a 9-11 inside job thread, you can state if you think it was bogus or "al-CIAduh"

I think we will see a large chemical attack in the US. This will be blamed on the "terrorists" of course. Frankly, another fake Bin Laden tape just won't cut it this time. That or a fake Bin Laden kill, Americans are used to the loser scoring in the last 10 seconds of the game/movie so they will take this hook line and sinker.

Ok, your opinions?

Let me see if I understand you. 911 was not an inside job, but you believe the Republicans are capable of creating a similar event\attack on americans because it may win an election?

......I'd give you my opinion but I like being a member here.

The big Oct surprise will be if this thread makes it past 5 posts.

I expect the campaigns to get a lot uglier.

You save your biggest shots for the last week. I wonder what McCain is planning.

I was worried when I saw the Obama ad on the Keating Five, but I'm hoping it was a tie-in with the economic crisis rather than a response in kind to the Mccain camp. Hoping.

I think the October surprise will be that Obama is not an American citizen and now Democrats will have to choose a new candidate weeks before the election.

Ok, one more civil post before all h-e-double-hockey-sticks breaks loose and we'll make it past 5

Yes, but Ron Paul is proven to be an illegal alien (from the planet Uranus) and now we're totally screwed because Nancy Pelosi becomes president.:rotfl:

Nah, Vladimir Putin will get elected president. From then on, it will alternate every 8 years, with Putin and Medvedev taking rotating turns at being presidents of Russia and the US.

In that case, we don't need to worry about a new cold war, eh?

I don't believe we will see an October surprise. Digging up something new about Obama may prove difficult considering he had to run against the Clintons for such a long period of time.
