The situation has been the same since Bush II. Bush, and later presidents could have declared a state of emergency and become virtual dictators at any time. Whoever is president when/if it happens, will need some sort of pretext to do it. I fully expected Bush/Cheney to do it but it seems they wanted to control the entire ME first.
