General Frank :"Constitution will be discarded for military government"
Edited on Sat Sep-18-04 12:55 AM by Pallas180
"Retired Army General Tommy Franks the former commander of the military's Central Command warned, that if terrorists succeeded in using a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) against the United States or one of our allies, it would likely have catastrophic consequences for our cherished republican form of government. Frank further stated; if the United States is hit with a weapon of mass destruction that inflicts large casualties, the Constitution will likely be discarded in favor of a military form of government. "

November 2003 (NewsMax).

6. Paging Barry Goldwater
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

And John McCain calls himself a Goldwater Republican. These people are nuts.

8. For someone who swore to uphold the Constitution in uniform...
Mr. "Hurry-Up-And-Retire-So-My-Invasion-of-Iraq-Lands-In-Some-Other-General's-TO Finish Box" Franks doesn't give a damn about it out of uniform.

This country has survived a sh*load of wars and other bad things without trashing the Constitution and forever reverting to a police-state.

9. BUT - this cabal has been working for 50 years to take over the US govt.
from Prescott Bush supporting Nazis to GHW Bush and his " New World
Order" ( and what do you think that's about" - to dumbass and his
"Homeland Security".

"Homeland Security" operates under FEMA. Have you read the FEMA laws/rules (cause they're really lawless) lately written by Oliver North for Reagan/Bush ?

Read em. Google it. FEMA Rules

Seems to me we're 80 % there already.

And then factor in the talk of no election and Cheney's we're going to be attacked......

Yeah, if it looks like they;re losing I think we could have an attack to install a dictatorship/military govt. and since stupid thinks he's
"chimp in chief" I wonder if he'll put on a uniform and strut around like all the other dictators who took over in coups have....

I'm serious. I write sarcastically, but I'm serious in this musing.

10. You are absolutely correct!
This comes directly out of Iran-Contra. FEMA was NOT set up to help in disasters such as hurricanes. It has a far more sinister agenda. Look it up. It will open your eyes. There was talk during the Iran/Contra hearings of suspending the Constitution.

12. When Franks was told they were going to attack Iraq...he used
four letter words to describe that they were f-ing idiots.

He knew damn well how it would end up (and so did Powell - remember, " If you break it, you bought it" ) but they wouldnt listen to a general who had runthe previous war, right?

...and Franks likely retired cause he didnt want to be a part of it....I thought it real odd to retire in the middle of a war..

I think he's trying to warn us.

15. yep, the way to solve the problem of terrorism

18. Violations of the US Constitution.
Rumsfailed Admitted to Violating Geneva Convention

Rumsfailed admitted in public on TV that when CIA Director Tenet requested that an Iraqi prisoner be sent to a secret Afghan/US Prison that Rumsfailed did so. After four months a DOD Attorney stated that this was an illegal act. Rumsfailed then ordered that this prisoner be sent back to Abu Graihib but the prisoner was purposefully not listed at that location, also an illegal act.

Rumfailed has commted two violations of the Geneva Convention; thereby also violations of The Constitution of the USA. Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfailed and Tenet have not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Rep. Rangle's Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfailed and also proscecute Ex. CIA Tenet.

Does the US, Govt., Congress, and the Justice Dept no longer abide by the Geneva Convention or the Constitution of the USA?

It is obvious that this is the case!.

He said that not only will the Constitution be shit-canned for Martial Law, but we will CLAMOR for it. I take that to be as in "Oh SAVE US, Great Dubya! SAVE US from the evil Al-Kah-Seltzah!!!"

Sickening. "Take my Rights away, Dubya! I'm afraid to go to Wall-Mart!"
