Yesterday, a lede by Robert Kagan, co-founder of the Project for the New American Century, husband to Dick Cheney's Deputy National Security Advisor and Fellow at the U.S. Institute for Peace --because war is peace -- sent a shiver down my spine:

Let's imagine, and this is purely hypothetical, that President Bush has already decided that he will not leave office in January 2009 without a satisfactory resolution of the Iranian nuclear problem.
Holy Jeebus, is Kagan advocating some kind of coup in the pages of the Washington Post?
