Although she argued that any amount of combat would impose too steep a price, she conceded to colleagues, "We will win this war -- quickly! Maybe two weeks, maybe two months -- that's quick.

Activists, including American Conservative Union chief David Keene and former Reagan Administration official Don Devine, have convened several times in secret to plot strategy. Two groups met last weekend, one in Dallas and another in suburban Maryland, and talk of rebellion is becoming more public.
