One Party: two branches.

The false illusion that Dems will actually do anything is perpetuated to keep people out of the streets.

To quote the movie Patton: “Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man.”

Fixed fortifications, like body armor or a longer lance or a gun that shoots farther, is simply a technique of keeping oneself safe while still being able to hit the enemy. Once the fortification doesn’t stop them then it is irrelevant and should be dropped immediately, in favor of a bigger better gun or some other kind of protective armor or even better faster mobility.

Speed, mobility, reach, firepower, coordination of forces, planning and a strong base of support (economic, industrial, scientific research, etc) are more modern issues.

Take the TB guy as an indicator they’re researching germs, bacteria and viruses as military weapons. If they can find a way to destroy an enemy without even placing our own soldiers in danger, then that would be great reach, firepower and safety, all at once.

Of course, ‘they’ might decide you and I are the enemy and destroy us without even leaving their fingerprints. That’s way too much unchecked & balanced power.

Take the TB guy as a sign they’re testing germs, bacteria, and viruses as ways of implementing their nationwide quarantine program once they’ve figured out which agent works best at infecting the most amount of people quickest without actually having a high mortality rate but which causes enough fear to justify sending Blackwater into every major city ahead of cancelling elections.

The deceased microbiologists mentioned supra would have been perfect for finding the fingerprints of the agents and identifying the perps.

This is a disaster. It could have been avoided, and men like Murtha who understand it want to avoid it. But we may see a catastrophic defeat of our military power that is light years greater than what happened in Vietnam, where we exited with success, if not dignity.

A*PE*Kerheads support Hillary absolutely.

okay — i admit, reading the d.n.c.
tea-leaves, and rahm — is an
endeavour best left to experts. . .

[i.e. not me — so, O/T, sorta. . .]

now what IS NEW, and IS AVAILABLE,
already, from team-libby’s OTHER
FILINGS, tonight, in the criminal
case, are new new tid-bits — of
what those scooter-support
letters contain. . .

like scooter’s efforts on behalf
of another white house staffer
accused of leaking classified
information to a newspaper. . .

yep — he’s apparently been
here, before — in the role of
pro-bono lawyer — not client.

the letter from which this was
quoted may well be one deserving
of some redaction, so i will not
speculate about identities — no,
as to the incident, i’ll patiently
wait to match the above-quoted, to
whatever is made available on, or
after june 5, 2007. . .

that said. . . i think it permissable
to speculate about how this incident
might have influenced the arc of scooter’s
later trajectory — and his life — since then. . .

so, i cannot help wondering whether
scooter “went to school” in some
measure on this case, especially
insofar as it might have helped
him learn where the absolute edge
of “a policy disagreement” becomes,
well. . . “a leak to a newspaper“. . .

do take a squint. . .
