Hmmm...Now this sounds like a Bush 'plan'
Tommy Franks is on FoxNews Radio on XM 168 right now. He said that if there is another attack here in the US, the people will be DEMANDING MARTIAL LAW! (I got flamed here several times for even mentioning that martial law might be part of a 'keep Bush in the WH' plan.) Not so funny now that they are actually putting it out there just when they are upping the fear of attacks to come.

5. I wonder what opinion poll Gen Franks uses to make that conclusion
An extremely alarming statement which I hope will hit the news and blogs.

6. That's why his Directive 51 gave HIM the power over the Federal Government and all its agencies.
Edited on Fri Jul-13-07 10:36 AM by in_cog_ni_to
I know this is WND, but that's what makes this even SCARIER! Jerome Corsi was involved in the Swiftboat fiasco and wrote this article! NOW that the regime is grabbing power, this crap matters to them? Here's his pic: Look familiar?


I predict there WILL BE a catastrophic event and the regime will make their move...Martial Law will be implemented and we will have Dictator Psycho.


WND Exclusive Commentary Bush makes power grab
Posted: May 23, 2007
1:00 a.m. Eastern

President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement, on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of the president in the event of a national emergency declared by the president.

The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive," with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive, establishes under the office of president a new National Continuity Coordinator.

That job, as the document describes, is to make plans for "National Essential Functions" of all federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations to continue functioning under the president's directives in the event of a national emergency.

The directive loosely defines "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions." <snip>

8. Oh, I think we are moving the direction of Marital Law
The terror talk of late it just the next step in the escalation to the actual attack. They they will simply thrust marital law on us and it will no longer matter what people think. You won't be allowed to think.

13. Not this time. I think the sheeple are wised up enough to know bullshit when they hear it...
...what would the logic be? We haven't been able to protect you up to this point, but with martial law we CAN?

I don't think ANYONE, other than the idiots that work for Fixed Noise, would buy that for a second...

I think that what WOULD happen is a mass of outrage AGAINST this criminal mis-administration for failing in their most basic of responsibilities and immdeiate demands for their ouster....

Whatever short-term gains or footholds these criminals think they have by LIHOP (again) would be a fatal error on their part...Fool us once...etc etc..

Bottom line, it simply won't wash...

14. Iraq war planners forecast only 5,000 GIs in '06-Gen. Tommy Franks
WASHINGTON - Some of the planning by Gen. Tommy Franks and other top military officials before the 2003 invasion of Iraq envisioned that as few as 5,000 U.S. troops would remain in Iraq by December 2006, according to documents obtained by a private research organization.

Slides obtained by the National Security Archive under the Freedom of Information Act contain a PowerPoint presentation of what planners projected to be a stable, pro-American and democratic Iraq after the ouster of Saddam Hussein.
