Iran, Terror and Bush Fascism

As Bush's poll numbers sink, and the LIES become so obvious that even the fascistic zealots have trouble explaining away all the deceit and deceptions, look for increased fearmongering and warmongering from the radical leadership in Washington, D.C.

As we see it, there are only two ways Bush and the radical Republicans and the neocons can conceivably regain their lost political momentum. Both involve again whipping the citizens of this country into a nationalistic frenzy of fear and vengence.

First, by worrying everyone about Iran's non-existent atomic bomb, the 'mood' will be set if an unexpected Iranian "incident" should occur inside or on the border with Iraq. This would give the Bushites the pretext to immediately bomb selected strategic targets in Iran. No need to go to Congress, since this scenario would involve a response to something that happened in Iraq, Bush would claim he has the authority to order retaliatory attacks under the Iraq War Resolution.

Or, the second possiblity is a significant 'terror' attack happening somewhere outside the United States. If a real terror attack happens inside our country in the near future, there will probably be an army of pitchforks surrounding the White House in a matter of days. After all the money spent and troops killed and wounded and grief and worry done to Americans in order to "connect the dots" and protect us, Bush and Cheney would be lucky to escape with their socks if there is another 9/11-type attack. But, an act of violence in Europe, for instance, would allow Bush to ramp-up the fear and so-called "war on terror" all over again ... and maybe keep radical Republican majorities in the U.S. Senate and House in 2006.

We all know that these hooligans are capable of anything. A gang of crooks that will lie about non-existent weapons of mass destriction in Iraq to start a war that has now killed 2,300 U.S. troops and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis; who approve of torture and kidnapping; who advocate warrantless spying on Americans; who spend billions and billions of non-existent dollars -- are surely capable of finding a pretext to start another war, and inflame the patriotic passions of Americans for their own political ends.

We must all be very aware ... and now forewarned. It certainly appears that we are entering a dangerous time. If Bush and his worshipful followers suffer anymore political setbacks -- get ready -- there isn't anything they won't try to keep their grip on power.

Is it possible that terrorists might attack in order to help the Republican party?

I fear, despite all advice and recommendations, these fools are going to bomb Iran. The media have already begun the first stages of playing with our heads, stirring up the fear factor- thereby suspending reason in otherwise reasonable people. I remember my reaction after 9/11 - fear, anger, desire for revenge. I was naive, a woman of advanced age who never even considered that anyone in our govt. would try to destroy our govt. from within. Well, I was slapped in the head with a wake up call and started paying attention. Now I believe that if they can't find an excuse they will create one. This Admin. is scary beyond belief. I do not want to lose my Country and it's form of govt., no matter how imperfect. They are consciously doing this. They are not our representatives - we are just another group of people to exploit. I do not trust them, I do not respect them and I do not like them. I have a hard time understanding why so many people are still lined up behind them when it is so obviously (to me) not in their best interest- especially in domestic policy. I've always been a democrat because I believe in individual freedom and social responsibility. Now I'm a radical deomcrat because I think Republican = the opposite of what I believe in my heart as exhibited by their statements and actions.

Thank you for the welcome. It is a pleasure and relief to find like minded people.

A very nice post, and I agree with you 100%. We are in mortal danger, right now. Thank God 86,201 of us believe that.
