My one big hang up with Dany not originally being a part of Illyrio and Varys's plans is why not just kill Dany and Viserys. Nobody knew that Illyrio had them really. Who would shed a tear for the last 2 remaining Targs other than Dorne. Nobody would know who even did it.
Maybe to keep Robert distracted from finding the Targaryen he should be finding. If they were all dead at the beginning of the story, I think Robert would still be paranoid enough and desperately want war again enough to keep hunting for other Targaryen's if there were any.

So, if that is the case, has the plan been all along to marry her to fAegon?
Then why marry her off to Drogo? Drogo could have lived for quite some time.

Something thats been eating away at me lately is Moat Cailin.
It is the key to the North's power and is what has kept them virtually autonomous and for all intents and purposes a sovereign state. It is one of the buggest reasons that no army has ever marched from the south and taken the north though many have tried. Every king in the north and every warden of the north has had it's importance drilled into their heads since infancy.
Yet this "key to the north" is described as a jumble of ruins falling in on itself. Now I am just a blue collar boy from Louisiana and I know little about the strategies and tactics of medieval warfare but I do believe that I wouldn't allow a castle of that magnitude of importance fall into such a state of disrepair.
Why hasn't every Stark of winterfell made sure to repair and man that fortress. It should be the second mightiest fortress in the north, second only to winterfell herself. It could've been one of the most prestigious titles in the realm. "Lord of Cailin, Keeper to The Key to The North". A title worthy of the second sons of the Starks themselves, or to the greatest knight/noble warriors of the north much like The Knight of The Gate in the Vale.
Why would the Stark's allow it to become what it is?

Marrying her to Drogo always had the potential to backfire if Dany/Viserys ever convinced him to cross the Narrow Sea.
Same thing with the assassination attempt- if anything it pushed Drogo to want to move on Westeros.
I think the assassination attempt was Varys trying to spur Drogo on. Varys hates the Lannisters and would have known they were planning to take out Robert. But Aegon wasnt ready, so go get the Targaryen heir to come wreck shite with her Dothraki army.
