Bush Considers Invading Blue States under "Bird Flu" Ruse

File this AP news release under T for TERRIFYING.
Bush asserted aggressive action could be needed to prevent a potentially crippling U.S. outbreak of a bird flu strain that is sweeping through Asian poultry and causing experts to fear it could become the next deadly pandemic. Citing concern that state and local authorities might be unable to contain and deal with such an outbreak, Bush asked Congress to give him the authority to call in the military.

I am probably definitely paranoid. And this is certainly not a prediction. But... this is what you get when you have an administration that is rarely candid about what its intentions are. It's entirely too easy for me to imagine New England -- you know, the blue states, overrun in an "epidemic" and sent ito martial law lockdown and the spin machine selling a coup d'etat as "security".

Come on man, I know that ol' GW is the anti-christ but that is just a little far fetched don't you think? LOL!!

Sure it is. But what bothers me is... So is the idea of our entire nation agreeing to go to war on ridiculously thin evidence -- and then re-electing the guy who led us into it, despite the fact that he changed his reasons after the fact. I'm not sure WHAT to be suprised by anymore.
