Then watch the video.

If you don't believe this, you better start believing.

Tanks in the Street (none / 0)

In January 2001, I sent a fax to Senator Schumer, pleading with him to oppose the confirmation of John Ashcroft -- because the AG of the US of A needed to be secular. Senator Schumer took my advice, and was carpet bombed for his courageous stand.

As a footnote in the fax, I wrote that if Dubya was confirmed as President, we would see tanks in the street before he left office.

It was intended as motivational hyperbole -- sad to say, it has become prophecy, made manifest . . .

We'd better start believing what...? That George Bush is going to start sending tanks to quell peaceful demonstrations?  Listen to yourself.  It's people like you and the alarmist 1984-ish nonsense you spout that makes fence-sitters come over to OUR side.  No one in their right mind is honestly going to think that tanks were called out to an anti-war demonstration.  No one even has that kind of authority except the governor.  Come on!

not fake (none / 0)

RTFA. That's just a screen shot from several minutes of video which you can watch for yourself. It's not fake.

LAV-25 (none / 0)

Looks like it might be an LAV-25, used by the Marine Corps. Note the sloped front and in particular the headlights. They're a pretty customizable vehicle, but here are some shots that emphasize the resemblance. pic1 pic2 pic3

The Federal Building is across the street from the Veteran's Cemetary and down the street from a National Guard base. Perhaps the tank was just passing through?
