Former Reagan Official Warns Bush Might Attack US

On July 20, 2007, Paul Craig Roberts, the former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration, issued a public warning that "we are about to experience another 9/11-WMD experience" orchestrated by the current occupants of the White House. The purpose, he says, of attacking his own country is that "an attack will activate Bush’s new executive orders, which create a dictatorial police state in event of “national emergency.” He's referring to NSPD-51, in which Bush gave himself the powers to do just that.

The Russian media, which published this story today, add that the "staged attack" would also be used to launch a war with Iran.

I'm not trying to be a conspiracy theorist, but a very scary picture emerges when you put the facts in a timeline:

• September 11, 2001 - The United States is attacked. Bush uses the attack on 9/11 to enact the Patriot Act, start a war with Afghanistan, and start a war with Iraq (there's obviously much more, but let's keep it brief).

• October 1, 2002 -The Bush administration and Department of Homeland Security creates NORTHCOM, which "organizes and executes homeland defense and civil support missions...as ordered by the president and secretary of defense."

• May 9, 2007 - Bush issues NSPD-51, which gives him complete control of the government in the case of a broadly defined "emergency".

• July 17, 2007 - Bush issues an Executive Order that gives him the power to seize the assets of anyone that interferes with his mission in Iraq.

• August 30, 2007 - Nuclear weapons are mysteriously taken out of storage, loaded on the wings of a B-52 bomber, and flown from North Dakota to Louisiana.

• September 7 and September 11, 2007 - Osama bin Laden reappears twice in 4 days, after not being seen or heard from since June of 2006.
  

• September 14, 2007 - Air Force to be grounded

• September 15, 2007 - Massive anti-war/impeachment march to be held in Washington D.C.
  

• October 1, 2007 - Scheduled start date of the National Applications Office, which will allow almost all law enforcement officials to use spy satellites on Americans that can penetrate through buildings and underground bunkers. Civil liberties advocates call it "Big Brother in the Sky"

• October 15-20, 2007 - "Vigilant Shield 08" to be conducted by NORTHCOM in Oregon and Arizona. Vigilant Shield 08 is described as an "exercise for homeland defense and defense support of civil authorities missions", which some believe is code for a test run of martial law.
  

And these are just the things that we know about.

Connect all these dots, along with the undeniably logical analysis of a former Reagan administration official (not some blogger crackpot) which concludes that Bush has a lot to gain from attacking the United States, and the picture that emerges indicates that we as a country have a decision to make: Do we impeach and get these guys out of power or wait and come what may?

I say impeach. Who's with me?
