Summertime, and the warring is easy...
Here we go again. I've seen this movie already...and there's no happy ending this time, either.
1. Chimpy's poll numbers leaving skid marks in the bowl.
2. Terrorist attack (or in this instance, declaring a branch of a sovereign nation's army a terrorist organization)
3. Chimpy in Crawfit, pulling weeds.
4. Dick Cheney in undisclosed location, yanking his crank at the thought of using nukes on pesky [fill in Middle East country here].
5. Jingoistic drumbeat (New feature! Mentioning the return of a military draft! Thanks, Dancing Monkey Lute!)
6. Warning not to roll product out until September.
7. Congress asleep.
8. Traditional media fixated on [fill in bread and circuses act, ideally female, here].
UPDATE:
9. Ineffectual Secretary of State who is continuously undermined by Cheney.
Don't fergit we're also due for a hurricane to muss-up the Chimpster's brush clearing* vaca and Condi's shoe buying boondogle!
*Can you imagine having the endless money this turd has? He has a solid month to go anywhere, he's got his health (physicle anyway), he could do anything! There are millions who would kill to leave their low paying jobs to spend a few days at the beach with their families, but every fucking year he chooses to clear fucking sage brush in hot dry Texas? The man's a fucking imbecile! How can the preznit have absolutely no interests or passions?
...He should be impeached for that alone!

I doubt he's clearing brush any longer than it takes for the photo to snap the pic. The rest of the time he's driving around Crawford forcing other drivers off the road or back at the pig ranch knocking back Jim Beams.
Point 9): Chimpy nukes "reactor" sites in Iran; wise old men of Washington sputter "But we never thought he'd do it!" - then hunker down to come up with a reason why it was okay.

I don't have a problem with callling the Iranian Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization because they've got the "asshole" box on the list of qualifiers checked and re-checked. I do have a serious problem with how this administration will handle the repercussions of that declaration. If it hits the fan, it will be an Air Force/Navy operation using carriers and bases in Iraq (maybe) and Diego Garcia (Certainly). They've been stung by the Army and Marines doing all the heavy lifting recently (USAF close air support, though greatly appreciated by the grunts, isn't quite the same as pulling your weight) and must want to do "something" important. After all, you aren't going to find many terrorists with an attack sub. Also, most of the joint commands are now filled by Admirals instead of Generals and that makes me a bit nervous.
Don't do it, W. It's only going to make things worse.

John Quincy Adams had skinny dipping
Tyler had getting ladies pregnant (15 kids)
Harding had gambling
Eisenhower had cooking
Clinton had his saxophone and interns
etc etc
Shrubby has... um... uhhh... I have no clue.
He has a dog, I guess that counts.

They have to lay the ground work now, because you don't launch a new product until September. Andy Card said that. Bastards.

The plot might be clichéd but the script is timeless:
Evil powerholders wishing to tighten their reins, Evil merchants of death eager for new bloodmoney,
Evil seeking once again to triumph over good.
Satan isn't a dumbfuck.

Add for the entirely paranoid:
* Engineer terrorist attack in the Homeland so as to rationalize attacking the terra-country-du-jour.
