Believe me it could happen. FDR would have been 1st US dictator if he hadn't died and Rome had been a Republic for 500 years (that's more the twice as long as the US) and then Ceasar came along wiped it out in less than a year. Napolean did it. Many modern day leaders of former Republics have done it. So why not Bush? He hates the constitution & liberals & congress and he's got the backing of a huge portion of the US population & the Military.

Does anybody really think that Bush would impose a dictatorship upon the US? That's not a sane or rational belief.

There are TWO fundamental flaws in your premise. 1) The provision for Congress to declare War is for the purpose of STARTING a war where none exists. If "the other guy" starts one, no such declaration is needed nor appropriate. For example, if Canada invades, guess what? We're at war with Canada and Congress need not legislate to determine if this reality in fact exists. That is applicable to the present because SADDAM started a war in 1991 that was never concluded until the 2003 invasion. (There's been a Stability And Support Operation since then). 2) Congress DID declare war against Iraq. (redundantly, since as per #1 above, we already WERE at war.) There is nothing in The Constitution nor US Code that spells out specific language such declaration must utter. The fact that no resolution was passed with the words, "we declare war" or whatever you imagine it has to say, does not alter the inescapable fact they DID expressly vote to use military force against Iraq, specifically authorizing the invasion, in fact. You can claim that's not a declaration of war if you like but no honest person will join you.

A little off topic. I personally would like to see President Bush as World Dictator. My reason it that one day I would like to be Supreme World Dictator, but I don't know how to go about having that position created. I'm confident that if the position did exist that I could bribe my way in by trading Levis to Pakistani children who would give me Opium in trade, and I would swap that in Algeria for gold, and on and on until I was so rich I could buy an Army for my Coup de Tat to gain my Dictatorship. Ok, enough rambling about my hopes and dreams..
Does President Bush have a Dictatorship in his sites? I personally do not think so. No my answer here is 100% serious so ignore my stupidity earlier and pay attention...you may thank me for it later.
The New Iraqi Dinar was printed in England and is in circulation already, but is not tradable on the world currency market. It is practically worthless with it's current value of .0007 Iraqi Dinar to 1 U.S.D. The Dinar has it's critics and its admirers out there. The critics say the Dinar will never go up because the Iraqi Regime is too inept to exploit there oil reserves. The admirers says the Dinar was worth four times the U.S.D. two decades ago when it was holding around $4 to the USD. I think both are a little correct and both are a little wrong. As far as world currency goes, history does not have to repeat itself, so the admirers need a better reason to stock up on Dinars. As far as the Iraqi Regime being to inept to get their economy going so that the Dinars value soars? I agree..they are too inept to do it themselves, but if someone did it for them I feel they could maintain it. I personally think that President Bush and everyone "in the know" bought hundreds of millions of Dinars each and plan to cash them in after they rebuilt Iraqi and the Dinar is no longer restricted from Worldwide trade. Forget oil barrons, anyone who can afford a billion Dinar (I can't) for $740,000 could be sitting on 2 or 3 billion dollars if that country can start running itself in the next 10-20 years.
Anyway, back to your question more directly. I don't know about a dictatorship, but I think President Bush wants someone to repalce him that is like minded that won't give up on Iraq.

US troops would not serve under a dictatorship. There is no way a president could obtain that kind of control even if Marshall Law was implemented. Keep in mind that Bush is an elected official, dictators tend to 'Take' the position as head of a country. I would say the extra troops are to battle terror....

I'm sure he's getting plenty of kick backs from the Arms Industry. It's funny how outraged people are by your suggestion that he will turn dicatator - these things do happen ever heard of Julius Caesar? Not that I think it will because there are already dictators in the background running a succession of phony presidents no need to step out of the shadows.

I'm sure the soldiers in Iraq , most of which have redeployed 2-3 times, would appreciate some help. Certainly makes more sense then leaving them short handed...

what country do you think he can control once his term is up in 08'? Yes i know he is greedy and wants all the worlds oil but he can't have it. Eventhough he has made agreements with oil tykes who are molesting children and he can't say he doesn't know. I watch 20/20.

Um, there is a limit of two terms for a serving President and Bush has had his two...sooo it's not like he can run again.
It's really kind of funny how people ask these hypothetical questions that are just designed to get a rise out of people. If you want to change the country, quit bitching and GET OUT AND VOTE!!!
Good Lord, ask an intelligent question would ya????

Hmmm, well it's a logical chain of events. Institute a draft, Americans get upset and rebellious, Martial Law is instituted, bang...Bush gets to keep on being President.
Makes sense to me.
