Does anyone really believe this? It would be the worst move BushCo could
make, esp after all the "democracy & freedom" talk regarding Iraq. So,
they're gonna stage elections in Iraq but cancel them here? Are you serious?
Do you think that the mass of America would stand for such a thing, or more
specifically, all those millions who voted for Gore and Congressional Dems?
And what of the inevitable protests -- will they be violently suppressed?
Will dissenters be carted off to camps? Will the soldiers who would have to
carry out such actions do so? Esp after patrolling Iraq? Will the media (Fox
excepted) go along?

This is crazy. Kel's prediction about a loonier left seems in the offing.
