"I want to be invisible. I do guerrilla warfare. I paint my face and travel at night. You don't know it's over until you're in a body bag" - Ralph Reed
Keep thinking he doesn't mean it, and see what happens to the country.
See what happens if another 9/11 happens. If President Bush starts a war with Iran, that may become more likely. Scott Ritter thinks its a certainty that we will start a war with Iran, and if we do that some terrorist will end up setting off a bomb here.
Here's what paranoid crazy nut job General Tommy Franks had so say about such a thing happening
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Franks
According to Time magazine, on November 21, 2003, Tommy Franks said that in the event of another terrorist attack, American Constitutional liberties might be discarded by popular demand in favor of a military state. His quote:
Discussing the hypothetical dangers posed to the U.S. in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Franks said that “the worst thing that could happen” is if terrorists acquire and then use a biological, chemical or nuclear weapon that inflicts heavy casualties.
If that happens, Franks said, “... the Western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we’ve seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy.”
Franks then offered “in a practical sense” what he thinks would happen in the aftermath of such an attack.
“It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two steps, very, very important.”
Why is General Tommy Franks such an unhinged liberal moonbat?
