I get so tired of this crap. Yes America, the planners in the Pentagon have plans for the invasion of Iran. Big whoppitie shit. Those same planners have invasion plans laid out for three fourths of the countries on the planet. Hell, they’ve got plans on how to take back the major cities in this country too. It’s called being prepared. No big deal, we’ve been doing it for years. The problem is that a ton of people in the media don’t like having to cover a war, where they might get their head shot perfect face fucked up.
The same may not be as true of the coverage these days of Rumsfeld. The current SEC DEF inherited a mess when he got back to town and the terrorists attacks on this country certainly derailed his efforts at cleaning things up. It’s tough to change the structure and culture of a military while they are fighting a very real war.
The Sunday morning talking heads are not so subtlety pushing for the military to turn on the civilian leadership. Folks, that just ain’t going to happen. Those men and women are too professional to publicly try to undercut one of the prime tenants of the U.S. Constitution. They may be working behind the scenes to get it done, but don’t expect the public fight that Katie Couric and her buddies are pushing for.
The Pentagon is a big building with lots of moving pieces. There is shit going on in there that will never see the light of day and it will be years before all of the story on what’s going on today ever gets out.
Hell, we can’t even agree on how to deal with our past wars. The Council of Virginia Archaeologists is going to get their collective panties in a wad over civilians going on legal digs. I’m into history too and hate to see historical sites being turned into shopping malls. As far as I’m concerned if the private hunters and get relics out of the ground before they get lost forever good for them.
What the Federal Government should do is give those guys a huge write off for turning their finds over to respected museums. Then everybody wins.
And to wrap things up; you gotta know that snowball wars are cranking up in Hell this morning. Not only are Christians leaping for joy over the Resurrection, but the founder of Greenpeace has starting coming to his senses. When Patrick Moore starts praising nuclear power you have to believe that tree huggers everywhere might still be brought to the Lord and their senses.
See you on Monday.
