President Bush assasinated

What would be the outcome?


Anyway, ever since I saw that Gulf War 2 flash my mind's been racing further into the future, imagining as many possible paths that events could follow that come to mind.


Wonder what it was like to live in fear of global war when the Cold War was at its coldest.

Looks to me like things are getting colder everywhere, so I perhaps I'll get to know in not long.

Dick Cheney would become President. If there was any evidence of foreign involvement, it would also trigger a large backlash of 9/11 proportions.

Look, Bush is a democratically elected leader (Florida notwithstanding). He (still) has a high approval rating. His party controls Congress. Killing him isn't going to change US foreign policy; if anything, it would only make it more entrenched.

Bush is not the problem; he is a symptom.

Anyone watch 2DTV last night?

With Bush playing basket ball inside his skull with his peanut sized brain!


I LMAOED at that a lot!
I also TOMATOED at it, though the show is genius anyway.

Was that an old one? The Michael Jackson 'thing' I'd seen antes.

No, it'll be a chocolate bar taped to the bottom of a bag with the suffocation warnings crossed out.

I'd guess the shock of becoming President would immediately finish Cheney off, heh.

Bush is not the problem; he is a symptom.
And, of course, there would very quickly be plenty of evidence of foreign involvement within hours, along with a list (to be later appended to at will as new evidence is gathered) of responsible nations and the guilty terrorist group, even if all of the security people witnessed first hand his mother killing him.
