Of course IMHO. King George was quotaed as saying he will "do
anything necessary" to get reelected. Starting a war is the
perfect thing as historically it has been shown (i think..)
that voters will vote to keep a war-time president...and if he
were to do this he could also invoke a national emergency,
activating the list of executive orders one of which cancels
the election (someone correct me if I'm wrong) 
...and voila...we have King George in his record
breaking 4th term!!! Why 4th?? He was vp for both Reegan
terms......I believe it was Bush who called the shots...not
Ronnie Raygun.
