Its all about perception and deception. If Barry can make a martial law scenario look like what it really is then theres no question the military will follow along. Yes, he’ll be a dictator at the point but not in those words. If he can pull off a soft coup then the deception is complete. As I said, there will be some few who refuse but you and I will never know it. Most in the military will go along for various reasons but go along they will.

What I could foresee is a situation where hussein stages or invites a fake or ill conceived coup d’etat. This would likely lead to dictatorship. Chavez did something like this, and of course there was the Reichstag. A big war with Iran could always work.
