8. They may have to do it at home -- esp. if the people realize that Bu$h is

looting them (tax cuts for the rich, giveaways to the rich, enabling looters like Enron, raiding the Social Security trust fund, using our tax dollars to subsidize big business in sending our jobs abroad) as well as looting Iraq.

The Bu$h administration is all about looting -- abroad and at home. People don't like to be looted -- so the Bu$hes need ways to keep them in line -- abroad and at home. And if the crooked media and the crooked voting machines aren't enough at home, they'll want a backup. A military backup.

Another way of saying the same thing is: the majority of Americans are downwardly mobile -- thanks to the Bu$h gang's mismanagement & looting. People don't like being downwardly mobile, people don't like being pushed out of the middle class -- and if they figure out who's doing it, Bu$h may need some military muscle to keep the people in line.

Or -- if the public turns against Bu$h because of his scandals and he's afraid he might lose his office and go to prison. If LIHOP/MIHOP came out, Bu$h & co. might fear worse punishment than prison -- in which case they'd have little to lose by attempting a coup.


Looters and probable murderers need muscle to stay in power and to avoid the just punishment for their crimes.
