Reply #17: You may be 'misunderestimating' the Bushies...

[Q]

- Do you really think they're going to allow themselves to be bogged down in a scandal? Hell, no. Given recent history...it has to be taken for granted that they already have the next big 'distraction' planned and ready for execution.

- Or they can repeat history and simply let the next disaster happen. They know it's coming...hell...they're doing their best to escalate tensions around the world and to make sure every terrorist has a reason to attack us or our interests.

- The very foundation of Bush's* power resides in war and rumors of war. Even now they're beating the war drums against other 'evildoers' and spreading rumors of invisible enemies ready to attack.

- Nationalism. Every despot and banana republic knows how to use it. Be forewarned and actively fight against it instead of depending on a broken democracy to fit it for you.
