Will Bush* declare martial law after the financial crash?
Most of us have seen a thread or two about Bush/Cheney* instituting martial law. It would seem to me that Bush* will not just walk away quietly. It would seem to me that sometime in the summer or early fall, Bush/Cheney* might make a move in that direction.


Just sayin'

1. I think he is just going to move to South America...
I don't think he wants it anymore...

You can see how distracted he is, how bored he looks...

I think that if he could walk away now he would...

2. Possibly
I doubt Bush can maintain that kind of control very long. And he is already so unpopular that you might see a mass uprising if he tries to take power that way.

5. Let's do the numbers....
...Blackwater can muster about 2000 light infantry troops against 200,000,000 armed citizens. I like our odds better.

7. Here's a cheery and relevant little ditty from the Kingston Trio
I find it strangely comforting in these troubling times, now that we've become Guatemala with a vast nuclear arsenal.
