O'Reilly said Al Qaida may prefer Bush because the reckless way he invaded Iraq has made recruitment really easy for them. Add in Abu Graib and they have the perfect boogey man to rile up potential terrorists on the Arab street. If O'Reilly said this you know it's serious because O'Reilly certainly votes Republican.

Nope, the Jihadists will support Bush!

As Chinu has pointed out a while back, Bush has made more Moslem enemies than he has defeated. The Jihadists would want Bush to remain as president so that he would continue to make yet more Moslem enemies. This will further the Jihadists' cause to war against America.

So what will be likely to happen between now and the election. Someone on CNN pointed out that an attack (be it from the Jihadists or home-gown) would favour Bush. And I agree with that. So, will some desperate pro-Bush forces do it?

(BTW, mentally deranged folks were used in Europe in WWII to explode bombs etc. in crowded public places. Here, just a relatively few large firecrackers loaded with a little anthrax and lots of baking soda to simulate the real thing will cause widespread panic! The firecrackers will be fired into the sky and the pouches of the "fatal" stuff will be blown up and spread over a wide area. Then hell might break loose!) This is very low-tech but feasible.
