Pat Robertson says there will be a terrorist attack on the United states much larger the 9/11, possibly nuclear. I knew he'd never post here, so I thought I'd do his for him.
Here's mine.
1.) There will be a troop surge, Secterian violence will die down temporaily, but only in direct proportion to both sides fighting us. This will be a brief reaction and will be followed by a return to and growth in Sectarian violence. The failure of the Surge will torpedo McCains presidential hopes.
2.) Al Sadr will not play a part in any cease fire that includes ceding any real authority to Sunnis. He may well end up dead (anybody outside the Green Zone might and we'll certainly be gunning for him)
3.) The President will be forced to 'mull over' and 'listen to people' about katrina, but he'll be unable to find anyone competent to actually do anything about it. There will be some repairs to photo opp worthy sites, and at least one major speech, but the 9'th ward will look a lot like it does right now a year from now. And don't forget there's a hurricane season a year just itching to take advantage of how little real work has been done.
4.) Conditions in Afghanistan will remain the same IF Nato doesn't decide it's in their interests to make a much more major commitment and screw looking for us to do anything more than we're doing and IF the Taliban don't land a succseful punch. If they do, the sleeping giant will awake once more and drop lots and lots of bombs on both sides of the Pakistani/Afghanistan border.
5.) I think Obama will continue to tease as long as possible, waiting to see if Clinton and Edwards can do each other any damage and what plays better, populism or triangulation.
6.) The Democratic leadership will hold hearings and pussyfoot at the same time, unable to find a spine even in so terrified of a backlash they infuriate their supporters as much as their detractors. However, a steady stream of adminstration lies will be uncovered and a steady stream of rats will continue to leave the sinking ship, leaving Chenney spending most of his time stonewalling divulging anything all the way to the supreme court and W looking more and more sullen and angry. He will eventually snap in public, shouting obscenities at some reporter in a clip that will be set to a techno beat and downloaded over and over on Youtube.
7.) Andrew Dice Clay will make a massive comeback.
