Sure, but I can't imagine it's higher up on the to-do list than the WOT.

One of those unanticipated thingies is that the Bush folk, most of all including Cheney, come into power with clearly and obviously stated intentions to revive the imperial presidency, the one that Nixon lost. But how to do it. Hiding the energy taskforce in Cheney's hideaway was not a large deal but it was clearly part of the plan.

Then the unanticipated, 9-11, hits. And the two things become one, the imperial presidency and this odd, endless, whatever called the WOT.

So each feeds the other.
