Reply #9: We have a dictatorship in WH now; but in order to take total control . . .

what do they need to do -- ???

For those who think that "Watergate" was just a third rate burglary . . .
we should keep in mind the "Huston Plan" . . . which was a civilian version of "Operation Northwoods" and was intended to create sufficient chaos which would necessitate the calling off of elections in 1972 . . . !!!!

It also included murders, "terrorist" attacks, etc.
Thanks Nixon!!!
Rumsfeld and Cheney and Daddy Bush are part of that camp.

So, I think if they see a big loss coming in '08 . . . something like the Huston Plan may appear.

And, presuming they will have attacked Iran by then adding to the confusion . . .
who knows . . . what could then stop them???? Holding the Congress where it is now, with a swing from Liebrmann and a dead . . . Tim Johnson? . . . they could easily claim a Republican majority.

Two things are obvious: They need to hold Bush's identity as a "Commander in Chief" which means keeping us in "war time" and if the Democrats bring the troops home, that would spoil most of their plans.

I doubt it . . . but if the Dems are idiotic enough to think that they're safer politically in keeping Bush's war going until nearer the elections and letting Bush's numbers drop further . . . then I think we're simply watching dueling evils.

If the Dems are honest, they have to pull the plug on IRAQ and on the whole "Commander-in-Chief" powers . . .

And it's those GROWING powers and defiance of any laws upon this administration that is really frighteing -- !!!

AND . . . the lack of what seems like any rush by the Democrats to reverse things like the Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, Habeas Corpus --

Signing acts -- over 1,000 of them!!!

Where in the hell are the Democrats -- ??????????



PS: Part of Iran Contra was Ollie North working in a section of government which was intended to
take the Constitution apart -- invalidate it.
