Predictions

Dateline HZ - Bowser and only Bowser: GWB will continue to be infallible in His own mind, with only slight, "ah, shucks" sorts of confessions which endear him to the True Believers.

Dateline HZ - Bowser and only Bowser: The US will kill more Iraqi civilians, thereby pissing off their relatives and friends, creating more terrorists.

Dateline HZ - Bowser and only Bowser: Same for the Afghanis, strengthening the belief among Muslims that these are religious wars in the style of Israel and West Bank Israel, the former Palestine.

Dateline HZ - Bowser and only Bowser: Iraq will descend into civil war, which GWB & Co. will blame upon the UN, Iran, other foreign insurgents, and/or an ineffectual Governing Council, or whoever.

Dateline HZ - Bowser and only Bowser: GWB & Co. will attempt to scare the bejeesus out of the American public before the November election, painting GWB as a savior from rather than creator of terror. If there is an actual attack on American soil it will be deemed unpreventable by the Administration, FBI and/or CIA. It will be used to demonstrate how GWB is the only effective line of defense against terrorism available to the American public.

Dateline HZ - Bowser and only Bowser: The search for Osama bin Laden will intensify, with the goal of capturing him before the election. If not captured he will be painted as powerless and irrelevant, while al-Qaeda is depicted as almost all-powerful and able to decimate the US except for the vigilance of GWB.

Dateline HZ - Bowser and only Bowser: The full report of the 9-11 Commission will not be released before the election, with only redacted portions available to the public.

And there could be more, but you get the idea. This is sort of fun, if not also sort of sad.
