162. Americans get so pissed at the do nothing congress, at the bigger occupation,
Edited on Mon Jul-09-07 12:41 AM by John Q. Citizen
the fact that all the subpoenas and witnesses are tied up in court for months while issues of executive privilege are argued, that congress has ignored the clear will of the American people that they decide they are all a bunch of corrupt bastards and they just stay home this time since voting last time accomplished absolutely nothing? And they would be right?

Or

bush attacks Iran with a sustained ariel bombardment, people take to the streets to protest, agent provocateurs incite violence, bush declares martial law and suspends congress and the 2008 elections in the name of national security, just for few weeks, then months, then?

or

Ok, I get your point about "timing." But lots of people understand timing, not just Pelosi. Like the bush administration, like Steny Hoyer, like Cindy Sheehan, like the Repos in congress, like the Dems in congress, like the corporations, like the media corporations, the intel services etc, and that's just here, not including other countries

Here's another scenario.

Cindy figures (or has allies in congress who tell her, or the press etc.) the dam is about to burst on the impeachment scene. So she demands that Pelosi either puts impeachment on the table or she's going to run against her. Pelosi actually does put impeachment on the table and Americans rejoice, the evidence is laid out, witnesses are called, executive privilege can't stop the investigation and the house impeaches Chaney. Then it goes to the Senate, Chaney keels over and dies of a heart attack. Does he get a state funeral?

Anyway, I sure hope Nancy knows what the hell she's doing.
