“The King is Dead! The King is Dead! Long live ______ (don’t worry, the propaganda arm of the Resident’s handlers will soon fill in the blank), the new King!”
“We got him! We got him! The most dangerous man in Iraq! We got him!”
Of course nothing on the ground will change, other than a new Martyr has been created.
Meanwhile, the most dangerous man in America is First Lt. Ehren Watada, the first commissioned officer to declare his refusal to serve in Iraq. He justifies his refusal to deploy to Iraq based on constitutional and legal grounds. The danger he poses is not to America, but to the government currently in power. Or rather, the cabal holding the reins. Vietnam ended not when the protesters entered the streets, but when the soldiers refused to enter the fight. The power structure doesn’t recognize the grunts, they are cannon fodder. The officers are a different matter, they are part of the ruling class. Wait, America is a classless society! Yeah, right. If you believe that, there’s this nice little bridge in Brooklyn.
Now, into the circle file…
