Synthesizing several recommended diaries, it dawned on me that the GOP strategy may be to force the Democrats into impeachment and then launch a false flag or domestic terrorist attack and then blame the Democrats for interfering with the Commander-in-Chief, in an attempt to blunt our electoral hopes for '08 or even to perhaps institute martial law.
Keith Olbermann has already tried to inoculate the public against the possibility of a domestic terrorist attack in his special comment about Chertoff's gut when he said that the fault for any such attack would laid at the feet of the administration. We need to loudly inoculate the public against this possibility in order to ward it off. If such a cynical maneuver would redound to the GOP's detriment, they would think twice about it and perhaps even work to avoid it. The battle is in the media and thence in the minds of the people, and we must wage it there. Vigorously.
Perhaps, polling that asks questions such as whether people think Bush would benefit from a new terrorist attack could be employed. Or if the crippling of the DOJ by Gonzo's politicization has weakened us enough to predispose us to an attack, or if Bush's being bogged down in Iraq has disabled his -- and our -- ability to defend the US home turf. Any other suggestions?
