Is this what they are hoping for?
From Fortune Magazine:
http://money.cnn.com/2008/06/20/mag...itford.fortune/
On national security McCain wins. We saw how that might play out early in the campaign, when one good scare, one timely reminder of the chaos lurking in the world, probably saved McCain in New Hampshire, a state he had to win to save his candidacy - this according to McCain's chief strategist, Charlie Black. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto in December was an "unfortunate event," says Black. "But his knowledge and ability to talk about it reemphasized that this is the guy who's ready to be Commander-in-Chief. And it helped us." As would, Black concedes with startling candor after we raise the issue, another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. "Certainly it would be a big advantage to him," says Black.
Fucking disgraceful |

All commentators have been saying for some time now the only way Obama will lose is if there is a "major world event" (i.e. terrorist attack).
I wouldn't say Reps are hoping for it (unless there are genuine traitors in their party) but if it were to occur they would use it the same way they used 9/11 to topple Saddam and invade Iraq... fear and manipulation. |

| All the more reason to vote for Senator Obama. McCain is a pathetic liar with a campaign run by the lowest of DC lobbyists. |

| I dont see it helping him. It would just point out that once again that the Rep adminstration has done nothing to make us safer. |

| McCain "disavowed" Blacks bullshit today, and spewed more nonsense about how he is Mr US Safety, blah, blah, fucking blah. A collection of fucking idiots. |

what did the dem adminstration do about khalid sheik mohammed and the people hiding in afghanistan after WTC 93 to make us safer? i would like to point out, the mastermind and one of financiers of these attacks is in prison directly from the result of the rep administration.
i hate taking the side of rep or dem because i don't follow one or the others beliefs down a line, but lets be real here. |

what is your point? this has nothing to do with where he is from, it has to do with the fact that this administration caught the person responsible for many terror attacks, the biggest on US soil. i was replying to willow saying that "rep have done noting to make us safer", and that they most certainly have done more than the dems, including catch the person that attacked the US under dem administration.
and btw, are you trying to say he has always been in kuwait? don't forget he fought in afghanistan against russia (see your own link) and he was found in pakistan. not sure what you are trying to say there. |

| jetdog |
| Ah yes, the lobbyist Charlie Black who worked for dictators Ferdinand Markos, Mobuto Sese Seko, rebel leader Jonas Savimbi and was directly linked to lobbying for an Iran based firm, now wishing for the deaths of Americans to further his goals of, well, working for more dictators. Thats todays GOP, the death of Americans is always on their sick fuck minds. |

anyway, you are right, bush should have been at dulles airport screening passengers and figured out what mohammed atta was up too. just as clinton should have been at u-haul to stop ramsey usef from from bombing the WTC in 93. my point is though, that this admin caught one of the main figures of al-qaeda (khalid) and many others, but the previous admin did NOTHING outside of the US. |

And the Bush administration totally ignored the FBI intell that a plot was underway involving commercial jets. Bush's response to the reports, a month long vacation in Crawford TX.
One would be lead to believe that this administration wanted the plot to succeed.

He has apologized for the remark, as has John McCain.
Did Michelle Obama ever apologize for calling America in 2008 a "downright mean country" yet? |

How convenient to mention Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who had little to do with 1993.
Yet you don't mention that people actually involved with the bombing, like Ramzi Yousef, were caught, tried & convicted, and are serving life in prison in a Supermax prison in Colorado.

Charlie Black was not "minimizing a potential attack" - he was asked a political question.
You really want to take issue with that and look the other way at the countless amounts of times that the Democrats (including Obama) have either downplayed or outright ignored all of the success that has been brought by General Petraeus over the past year and a half - all for their own political benefit? |

Oh come on...can we be honest on here or not? The fact is, there are certain events that will either help or hurt each party's chances of winning the White House in November. Among these are:
1. The economy - if it gets significantly better, Democrats lose quite-possibly their biggest issue. If it gets worse, Democrats gain.
2. Iraq - any good news out of Iraq is bad news for Obama's chance of winning. Conversely, bad news is bad for McCain.
3. Terrorism - a terrorist attack between now and November could galvanize votes for McCain, as he is stronger on this issue and it would remind voters that there are still dangers out there that need to be dealt with.
Like if Osama bin Laden is captured or killed before the election, it helps McCain. All Democrats would be able to say is, "Why did it take so long?" |

How is this statement any different than Democrats hoping the economy doesn't turn around before November? Or that we get bad news in Iraq? |
There are certain things that politicians and their associates cannot be heard to say even though everyone thinks them... like 9/11 could be seen as America's chicken's comin home to roost... (even though i've seen CIA officials saying the same thing)...
I don't think there's anything wrong with talking honestly about what will help / hinder the candidates... however, the guy that brought it up is dirty as hell and has a track record of being a scumbag - whatever he does, fuck him! He only does dirty politics. |
