Seems like Obama is doing everything he can to create as many "cracks" as possible, thereby giving them multiple chances to "succeed". If one crisis fails to bring about the desired result, then there will be many other crises which might not "fail" to do so. Stacking the deck in their favor, so to speak. Obama's roll in all of this may be as simple as that - create as many crises as possible, so that hopefully one can be used to move forward to the ultimate goal. Rahm is also there to make sure that "no crisis goes to waste".
I wonder who this army is (if it even exists outside of their imaginations), and where they are caching their arms. If this is true, it sounds like they are talking about a real army, with real guns, and real people to act as soldiers. How do you secretly build and organize something like that, and keep it cohesive, while you are waiting for your "triggering" crisis??
Conservatives might not be the only ones buying guns and ammo.
