Reply #9: Raises some interesting thoughts in connection with current events. [View All]

If, as seems clear, Shrub and his minions set out to end the
last vestiges of the American Republic, then the various events
of the last 3.5 years, bad economy, enemies without and within,
discrediting of the political structure, all fit in.

OTOH, I think I would have expected a more determined, sustained,
and violent campaign at home under this scenario. All we have is
the WTC attacks, spectacular but isolated so far. Another on that
scale could well backfire, and a campaign of smaller atrocities
ought to be well underway by now to have the desired effect.

Of course, Dumbsfeld's record of incompetence must be considered too.
They may have had this in mind but botched it, pissed off the spooks,
not dare because of pissed off spooks, etc. We live in interesting
times.
