Tinfoil : is anyone else uneasy about the martial law in Iraq

[eek]

declaration?

I just feel a bit nervous . They are talking about it so much today.
Now I keep hearing them making a point to talk about the positive reactions from the people of Iraq.
My tinfoil sense tells me that it is marketing of the words "martial law" - familiarising us with the term whilst getting us to connect in our minds with positivity....

Good point. (Side note, wonder if Bu$h knows a hawk from a handsaw

anymore?)

1. New PM is a dictator in the making

and Rumsfeld help set the tone for general mayhem when he chuckled over the looting.

2. Sure. Imperial Freedomstan (formerly Iraq) is a testing ground for

Tyranny. Bushevik Tyranny.

And yes, the wweapons and tactics will be in use in the Empire by 2030, I predict.

Though COPS will long before that be broadcasting Police Beatings of Protestors for our entertainment long before that.

3. The New PM....

...used to be one of Saddam's hatchet men, and when he tried to grab for that little extra bit, Saddam decided to hatchet him.

Now he's the PM of Iraq, and all he knows is that force is the best way to fight the insurgency, and probably has little to no regard for the civilian casualties that will be the result of martial law.

New boss, same as the old boss.

[eek]

6. betchum most folks don't really know what

martial law is.
Therefore if it is test-marketed in our 51st State and presented as a positive thing (like extra cops at a parade)then there won't be objection when they declare it here"for the safety of law-abiding americans"

4. "No one cares anymore".. The "war" is over.. It's their hot potato now..

This was Georgie's plan all along.. He hi-tailed it out when it started to be a campaign liability, and of course now the media is focused elsewhere, so it will get little press.. Everythiong that happens from here on will be "blamed" on Iraq..

The 860 plus who were killed do not exist either.. The new number is SEVEN..
