Reply #2: The article says nothing of the sort

It's an assessment of what the author (an unnamed Associated Press journalist) predicts will be the foreign policy priorities of the administration over the next four years. The last paragraph observes:

"As prominent as Iraq appears in U.S. foreign policy now, it is useful to remember that priorities can change quickly.

Recall how different the world, and the U.S. perspective on it, seemed before the terror attacks of Sept. 11 2001, said Cronin.

One single act of terrorism can completely change this agenda, one huge financial crisis, one assassination" of an ally, Cronin said. "It's incredible how you can go in with one agenda and come out with another. "

You need to provide the quote for your point about martial law, because I see it mentioned no where in the article and I've read it three times.
Is it possible you included an incorrect link?
