Will the attack on Iran signal martial law here at home?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

If they use nukes (and perhaps even if sanity somehow prevails and they restrain themselves) there MUST be massive street protests here and across the world. They will need to attempt to step on such dissent quickly or risk having the White House overrun by all the citizens who will suddenly wake up and realize that World War III began while they innocently snoozed the night away.

As they have already expressed their dislike (okay, HATE) of internet bloggers and the truth and freedom we represent, this will be their chance to flip the switch and leave us with a 24-hour Faux disinformation campaign. I fully expect to see such things as a daily two minute (or longer) hate take place, attendance mandatory. All the secret continental detainment camps will become full overnight, with many of us DUers no doubt getting there soon enough to claim the top bunks.

Is this paranoia? Probably. Is this realistic? Hell yeah. Is this likely? What do YOU think?

1. I hope so.

I'm at the point now where I'm pretty much ready to throw down.

Martial law might just be a deal breaker for me.

4. Me too.

Locked and loaded.

2. Oh, there will be little law about it.

And if they try to pull martial law, they will have to have their efforts disrupted nationwide. But I doubt that they are sure that they can rely on the military to do their bidding domestically.

3. Yes... Because we will almost

immediatly come under a terrorist attack. If you were Iran would you have agents in place in America with orders in hand. You can rest assured these aren't Iraq's.

Another point, the millitary and will they help round us up. You bet your sweet boots. The backwashers and all the original freepers will get back together with the johnQ's that sit on the fence, the middle of the road dems ect. will be thumping thier chests so hard you had better get out of the way or you will get pounched. That's why I'm saying June, July or August. Chimps got to head off the November election trashing and the neocons know this full well. The dems get supeiona power, game over. These are psycopaths that have no remorse and don't particularly care for democracy. The only thing they really like about democracy is the ease to which they can manipulate it.

It's a bush family thingy. The only question left is who gets passed down the personnaly autographed copy of Mien Komph(sp), Jeb or George.

5. nope not paranoia at all....but how would you even be motivated to get out

of bed anymore? I'd just stay home and starve to death and cry all day as my cats starve too.
