Novack's giddy insouciance about the whole matter indicates to me that he was in on the plot, and did exactly what he was supposed to do. It isn't a coup, but rather a surgical strike to force Cheney to resign 'for health reasons'.

condi will be Bush's Vice President. Black and women voters will see a black woman Vice President only a pretzel away from the Presidency. At the same time, a black woman VP makes Bush completely assassination-proof, as the right-wing nuts would never dare shoot him.

On top of that, it appears Rove will have available to him a war on Syria in the spring of 2004, allowing Bush to win as a War President.

Once Bush wins, with the neocons completely unchecked, their real plans would go into full flight. By the middle of his term, the United States would have simultaneous wars or occupations going in Iraq, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba. The country would have a full draft

In all the confusion, Israel would slaughter or force out all the Palestinians from the Occupied Territories

In the second term, Jeb would be set up to take over whatever is left of the United States in the subsequent election, with Ahr-nold as his running mate.

When asked, before he ran for office, what kind of governor he would be, Mr. Reagan famously answered: "I don't know. I've never played a governor before."
By the end of his presidency, he would confess there had been times when he "wondered how you could do the job if you hadn't been an actor."
