"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush says the possibility of an avian flu pandemic is among the reasons he wants Congress to give him the power to use the nation's military in law enforcement roles in the United States...

The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 bans the military from participating in police-type activity on U.S. soil...

Bush began discussing the possibility of changing the law last month, in the aftermath of the government's sluggish response to civil unrest following Hurricane Katrina..."

Either you voted him in or you let him be voted; Either way; Live with it.

WTF, so if Bush drags his feet sending help after Katrina, would he pick up the pace any if a case came up to where martial law had to be used??

One weeks after Bush request the power to call martial law, citing the Avian Flu as ONE of the reasons, news about The Avian Flu coming and prophesizing The Worst Disaster In American History start popping up...

Reminds me of when a certain media was busy telling everyone that IRAQ was behind the 9/11 attacks and that if they weren't stopped, they'd use Bio/Chem weapons against the US (leaving even many Canadians I knew literally scared for their lives - But they don't care that it was all lies... Pathetic...)...

No actually I voted against them all 4 times, he and his idiot father, and campaigned against them and continue to try and raise awareness of the games they play. Interesting to note how the complete upper echlon of the party is now under indictment for one thing or another which Personally I think should lead to the impeachment of them all!

But on to your comment, yes I find it truly scary this was done and it seems to me that with the hurricanes etc... they are running trial runs in some ways for something else they may have planned, they were calling for evac in florida before they had a clue where the latest was even going to hit. It's all scary to me and your correct in your comment people just seem to be laying back letting it happen and being led like sheep to slaughter.

If bush declared martial law, the USA would nerver be the same. At that point i think its time to strike up arms.

Convenient, isn't it?
