Ever heard of Matthew Bracken? He is an author of quite a few books, I have a couple of them on my shelf. This one is interesting because it mirrors an idea I had once upon a time for just such a fictional idea.
Here is a quick excerpt, the full short story is at the link. It does give one something to think about . . .
"What I have heard called “the plan” began as idle office chat, nothing more. (Of course, not much chat is ever truly idle at the very highest levels of power, between senior presidential advisors.) The first time I heard it mentioned was over lunch with Dennis in the White House Mess, down in the basement next to the situation room. We were at a quiet corner table of the wood-paneled dining room, tossing ideas for the next talking points back and forth. Routine."
