My fun little conspiracy theory:
- Get the Islamic extremists all riled up, and looking for nukes
- Use the reserve forces only, but save the bulk of the military for something else
- Let North Korea develop weapons. Possibility of terrorists getting weapons keeps Americans good and scared.
- Make it legal to declare martial law. Good thing the military is still fairly strong.
- 2006 Elections. Vote correctly or the terrorists will kill you.
- Rumors of terrorists acquiring nukes
- 2008 Elections. Have military ready for martial law in case of rioting because of evidence of power grab, or because of blatant power grab.
- Or have the military ready for when Emperor Palpatine takes power to preserve the safety of the Republic, and starts a full-out ground war in Iran and/or North Korea.
Quite improbable. I hope.
