Ok, this thread is meant to be a time-capsule, we'll all write down what we expect Bush's next big screw up to be, now that the american people has made the big mistake of once again electing him. What will it be? Iran? North Korea? Piss off the Chinese? Have an arms race with Russia? Try to be as specific as you can, and in case we all survive, we'll be able to look back on this thread and see who was closest to the horrible horrible truth...

I believe he'll fall off his bicycle again. Or choke on a Frito (tm).

Was it a bicycle? I thought it was a segway.

He will attack Iran, claiming that they possess weapons of mass destruction.

After overthrowing the Iranian government, neither Americans nor UNO officials will find any evidence of such weapons.

If they will, it might seem plausible that they've been planted there by the US.

I'm pretty sure he fell off both.

I am sure that he will not attack Iran or NK. Since WW2, USA never attacked a country that has a decent chance to fight back. Fight back as in fuck the US army really, really bad.
I think he will just attack some other countries near Iraq, such as Syria, Libia, etc.

NK is unlikely. That Republic has the fifth largest military in the entire World.

[irony]I'd kind of love to see it, though. Didn't have a decent large scale war since Battlefield 1942! [/irony]

I actually don't think he'll attack anyone new for at least awhile. But, I'm the crazy 'moderate' here. I think the Frito prediction is more likely to happen.

Something will happen that will cause the US to stop supporting Israel. Israel's neighbors take the opportunity to push them into the sea. Israel launches nukes as a last ditch defense. What happens next...(someone else continue)

I agree. The middle-east/Israel explodes and nukes fly. I can't predict from where to where though. It's either that or US public revolt and overthrowing of the goverment.

True, but defend is another story.

The biggest of big screw ups will be taking advantage of that fact that there is now no real oposition in any branch of the government and remove the 2 term limit on a presidency...
After careful deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that Nazrix is not cool. I am sorry for any inconvienience my previous mistake may have caused. We now return you to the original programming

Iraq has partial elections in January. After one month, Bush declares Victory #2 and pulls out 75% of the troops in 6 months. Iraq collapses in on itself in civil war. Turkey goes for a land grab in the north to get rid of the Kurds, Iran takes a chunk from the east, and the Saudis take the south, rolling on through Kuwait. North Korea takes the opportunity to attack South Korea again. Bin Laden goes back to Afghanistan, retakes power, reinstalls the Taliban.

I'm scaring myself - I'll stop right there.

Just to pick something, since I haven't spent too much time speculating...

He'll try to rig the elections in Iraq, but the attempt at subtlety and covertness will be a miserable failure. Then things will all go downhill from there in some spectacular way or another. With a decent portion of Americans supporting him, of course, Europe not liking it but not knowing how to get involved, and Arabs disliking Bush even more, making the situation even more tense and dangerous. Then the tension can all be released during the next civil/world war.
