REPUBLICAN MEMO DEEP EMBARRASSMENT

Saturday, November 12, 2005 - FreeMarketNews.com

Among suggestions bounced around in a memo from the Republican Party on how to regain its popularity is that another terrorist attack on American soil would help the GOP regain the popularity it enjoyed in post-9/11 America. According to reports, the memo says that a terrorist attack on American soil would “validate” the President’s war on terror and allow Bush the opportunity to “unite the country in a time of great sorrow.” However, other Republicans worry that a terrorist attack creates high risk suggesting that the President has not done enough to protect the country.

The memo also outlines other sources including the capture or death of Osama Bin Laden, a drastic turnaround of the economy, and a “successful resolution” of the Iraq War. The memo defines a successful resolution as American forces getting out of Iraq intact, and civil war not breaking out until after the midterm elections in 2006. The memo circulates as the results of the elections last Tuesday have left an already dysfunctional White House in chaos according to reports. Reports from West Wing insiders say that shouting matches are commonplace and that the blame game escalates into open warfare.

this has happened before. in the early stuff written by the project for the new american century they said that they would find it difficult to put their placs into action "absent a catacylsic event like a new pearl harbour" or something like that. they wrote that in 1992.
