WASHINGTON CNN -- "President Bush says the possibility of an avian flu pandemic is among the reasons he wants Congress to give him the power to use the nation's military in law enforcement roles in the United States.
"I'm concerned about what an avian flu outbreak could mean for the United States and the world," he told reporters during a Rose Garden news conference on Tuesday.
Such an event would raise difficult questions, such as how a quarantine might be enforced, he said."
Ok, this is pretty frightening. There is no mention of how hospital care, antibiotics and/or other supportive care would be implemented. What is he planning to do, quarantine an entire town, leaving those who can afford medical care and medications to get what they can, and leaving the poor to die? Will they just deport folks to "flu camps'? Will martial law be far behind? The Bush administration is more and more fascist all the time, and it's scary.
