President Bush has signed a directive granting extraordinary powers to the office of the president(himself) in the event of a declared national emergency that seems to have no congressional approval or oversight.
The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive" was signed by Bush(of course) May 9 of this year.
This directive uses language such as "Catastrophic emergency", which is loosely defined as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."
And who decides what constitutes a "Catastrophic emergency"?
Why, Bush... of course.
You have to admire the "regardless of location" bit. That could easily mean a place like Iran, and the "disruption" part could easily mean something like disrupting the flow of oil to the U.S.
And--of course--such a catastrophic emergency would mean no elections, including presidential elections, until(if ever) the president declared the emergency over.
Neat.
This weasely little Texas toad truly and really wants to be our very first self-appointed and God-sent benign dictator, and is paving his own road to that goal.
What a deal. We have hillary - who is going to save the Democrats, Gore - who is going to save the planet, and now Bush - who is going to save America.
Where do these arrogant and maniacly egotistical nut cases come from?
Wherever it is, we need to send them back. Now.

How long is it before we see this guy in a black hood infront of a joint session of Congress with hands raised to the sky declaring something like:
"In light of this (totally manufactured) crisis, the United States will be reorganized into the First American Empire...To ensure a safer, more secure society."
While liberty dies with thunderous applause from his 535 fellow tyrants.
Any day now, Galt, any day.
