The Plan First, we stoke the flames of war. Check. Then we lie to make the war possible. Yeah, check. After that we send in the troops. Ok, got that. Fight a quick war which will raise the polls and rally the folks at home which should help the reelection effort. Um, worked for a while. Then overextend the military, underestimate the resistance, and poorly equip the troops. Uh oh. Destabilize the Middle East and create greater interest and support for the terrorists. Hmmmmm... Remove personal liberties at home so we can be safer. Call anyone who questions us unAmerican and tell them all about how our plans are working. Have I missed anything? Great plan.
