Bush's Game of Chicken Grows to Hawk Proportions

I was sent this link by a listener asking, "Where are the Democrats?":
Think Progress � U.S. sending third carrier strike group to Gulf.: "At least one former White House official contends that some Bush advisers secretly want an excuse to attack Iran. “They intend to be as provocative as possible and make the Iranians do something [America] would be forced to retaliate for,” says Hillary Mann, the administration’s former National Security Council director for Iran and Persian Gulf Affairs. …

A second Navy carrier group is steaming toward the Persian Gulf, and NEWSWEEK has learned that a third carrier will likely follow. Iran shot off a few missiles in those same tense waters last week, in a highly publicized test. With Americans and Iranians jousting on the chaotic battleground of Iraq, the chances of a small incident’s spiraling into a crisis are higher than they’ve been in years."
I have a question; if you are a Democrat, where in fact are you? Let me know who YOU are contacting. And if you are not a Democrat, but an alarmed citizen, I ask the same question.

We can't demand populist democracy and then sit on our hands waiting for the representatives we elected to read our minds. If the man who committed FRAUD on the American government (more on that soon) to stage a preemptive war against Iraq to gain access to a Middle East platform, used your vulnerability and silence to further his aims, what do you think he's doing with your complacency now?

More then ever, silence = death, and it is YOUR death this time.
