The election is still 2 years away, so the odds are that something bad (terrorist) will happen in that time, right? So if public sentiment shifts toward support for the war, then what will happen to the Democrats? Will the candidates backpedal, or be like ummm...er, oops?

Well, something is afoot....because Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad abruptly canceled his planned trip to New York to address the U.N. Security Council.
A strike group led by the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis recently joined a similar force in the Persian Gulf led by the carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.
U.S. and British officials said a boarding party from the frigate HMS Cornwall was seized about during a routine inspection of a merchant ship inside Iraqi territorial waters near the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway.
The seizure of two Royal Navy inflatable boats took place just outside the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab waterway, a 125-mile channel dividing Iraq from Iran. Its name means Arab Coastline in Arabic, and Iranians call it Arvandrud - Persian for Arvand River. A 1975 treaty recognized the middle of the waterway as the border.
Iranians send arms to Iraqi extremists, including sophisticated roadside bombs. This week, two commanders of an Iraqi Shiite militia told The Associated Press in Baghdad that hundreds of Iraqi Shiites had crossed into Iran for training by the elite Quds force, a branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard thought to have trained Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.

Sure, there is a chance that we could be attacked between now and then. But would the reason we are attacked be due to a dominant Democratic House and Senate?
Probably not.
Don't be fooled, our aggression in the Middle East is only causing more hatred of the US. We are not softening tensions; we are emboldening our strongest critics. Look at Iran. They are surrounded by the US, yet they are pursuing nuclear weapons faster than ever before. In the past they were more reasonable, but now that we are armed at their front door they are working harder than ever to build up the arsenal.

Do you really think the odds are that another attack will happen? Because I don't.

The Democrats will twist it around and blame it on Bush like they allways do

Yep, just like screwing up a joke, or putting down intelligent soldiers.
