Sure, my point is just that his plan wasn't so ludicrously complicated as some suppose. If the Separatists had managed to get the upper hand and defeat the clones (which were after all untested) and the Jedi, Sidious' goals would have been achieved just as certainly as with Order 66.
No... as it stand IT IS ridiculously complicated and insane.
First he says "I am the senate"
Yet the senate has no idea what's going on and wants and investigation...
Yet he wants this invasion to go through... "I want that treaty signed"
So signing a treaty all the sudden validates an invasion? You may as well forge that crap then. It's the equivalent of "gimme all your money or get shot" The senate wouldn't stand for it and yet they have no idea the invasion is even going on so why would the vote on something they have no idea is going on?
So the plot is to bog down the who senate in procedure and slow the system to show an invasion that really hasn't had casualties... Look at the invasion of Naboo... who died? The only mention of it is when Sio Bibble say "PEOPLE ARE DYING..." but even Obi tells them "it's a trick... send no reply"...
GL made something so convolutely insane that it makes no sense to even him:
