Reply #18: ABSOLUTELY! Bush needs the anti-war movement to survive, serious [View All]

First, Bush is facing being indicted for treason which carries the death penalty, by Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald and Bush desperately needs to confuse things.

(this thread links to a super blogger called CITIZENSPOOK who if you're not familiar with, I think you need to, to put it mildly. He expertly dissects the legal field mines surrounding Bush).

Bush needs to fire up his base to a fever pitch, portraying himself to them as a heroic wartime President and victim of wacko unpatriotic "Bush haters." He might even think about starting another war to distract us all.

If Fitzgerald indicts Bush, a lynch mob of zealots will probably try to portray him as being part of this emerging political anti-war "agenda to frame Bush." What else can Bush do? He can't defend himself legally that's for sure. It will be on the news non-stop.

It also concerns me that much of the media is focusing on the few war protestors who get out of hand or misbehave and try to make all of them look that way.

In my opinion Cindy Sheehan is being used and exploited, otherwise she wouldn't be getting so much coverage.
