Gen. Tommy Franks says that 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.

Well the Constitution has already largely been discarded in favor of judicial fiat, illegal legislation, ever more invasive useless laws on thing like riding ATVs and smoking and completely ignoring real threats like Latino invasion and gangs.

As much as I love the Constitution our current broken system only calls it up as a sort of talisman, so military rule would not be a huge change in that regard.

Yes..if another terror incident which is scaleable occurs on U.S.soil,
more security protocalls go into effect after.

some will embrace this as reasonable.

then again.... some will be really pissed to learn that terror orgs continue to club med in South Lebanon,Pakistan,Iran..elsewhere.
