So What If Bush Has 561 Days Left: Start Impeachment Now

by Sandy Sand (Yes, that's her real name)

Many are counting down the remaining days in the Bush regime including Keith Olbermann and Bill Press, who continually remind us that the end of his tyrannical rule is near.

Or is it?

The mainstream press has virtually ignored Bush's ultimate act of permanently grabbing absolute authority over the country with the signing of the National Security Directive in May of this year. In essence, the directive centralizes the executive branch in the event of a national emergency to the exclusion of ALL other governmental entities.

In a loosely defined explanation, the directive says a "catastrophic emergency" is outlined as "any incident, regardless of location, which results in an extraordinary level of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy or government function."

Defined in that manner, Bush can decide that anything from sun spots to the bird flu; to the threat of an attack; to an actual or feigned attack; to a tie-up on L.A.'s 405 Freeway; to the country having a hangnail and everything in between, is reason to shut down the country, deputize anyone he wants, arrest anyone he wants, and do whatever he wants in any manner he wants.

Even more frightening is that having given himself these powers, Bush can close down any or all government offices, send Congress home, and WORST of all...he CAN cancel the 2008 elections, all under the guise of "national security."
