Okay, Bush apologists one and all

'Splain this, Lucy:

First, without any discussion or warning, Bush announced Wednesday that he has extended the terrorism-related state of National Emergency he declared after 9/11.

Second, a Washington Post columnist tells us that yesterday was the kickoff of "GRANITE SHADOW", a massive Pentagon exercise simulating the declaration of a martial law in Washington, DC. Military special forces and intelligence officers have, in fact, been deployed in force -- wearing civilian clothes -- in the streets of the capitol.

Third, Bush is going to Colorado Springs on Saturday, HQ of Northern Command (NORCOM), we are told to monitor Hurricane Rita response efforts. NORCOM is the operational headquarters that is simultaneously running the GRANITE SHADOW operation.

Of course, this comes on the eve of the largest anti-war demonstration in DC in 35 years.

Wow... thats a bit scary. I mean say what you want about Bush apolgists, im a lttle more concerned with the coincedental fact that Bush is A. at the same command center that's monitoring the so called "Granite Shadow" operation, and B. that he's extended the terrorist alert, and C. that this is all happening right before the largest anti-war demonstration in D.C. in 35 years. Maybe im becoming a conspiracy nut here but it kinda looks to me like there gonna try and pull something tommorow during the protest. Or maybe I've missed something entirely. But regardless, foxsynergy is probably right, the biggest shit out there is about to hit the fan big time.
