| The Bush White House has prepared more than a dozen contingency plans to help guide President-elect Barack Obama if an international crisis erupts in the opening days of his administration, part of an elaborate operation designed to smooth the first transition of power since September 11, 2001.
The memorandums envision a variety of volatile possibilities, like a North Korean nuclear explosion, a cyber attack on US computer systems, a terrorist strike on US facilities overseas or a fresh outbreak of instability in West Asia, according to people briefed on them. Each then outlines options for Obama.
The contingency planning goes beyond what other administrations have done, with President George W Bush and Obama vowing to work in tandem to ensure a more efficient transition in a time of war and terrorist threat. The commission that investigated the September 11 attacks, noting problems during the handover from President Bill Clinton to Bush, called for a better process “since a catastrophic attack could occur with little or no notice”, as its report put it.
