I pulled into Washington, was feelin' bout half past dead,
Just need some place where I can lay my Head...
Our favorite Auntie, Donnie R. is getting (1) pushed over the side by the little Mayberry Troll in charge of Order and Goodness or (2) desperately trying to jump ship ahead of all the rats...which is it?
The now famous 'leaked' slog memo sure seems to indicate a guy who has some reservations about the company he's keeping, on the other hand he seems to be spending a lot of time talking about how to fight the War on Terra™ in an op-ed in the Post. Seems he and his 90-nation fanatasy coalition (sort of Auntie Donnies Fantasy Anti-Terra League) are, well, taking the fight to the evil-doers. One at a time. But not without recognition of a key principle:
For every terrorist whom coalition forces capture, kill, dissuade or deter, others are being trained. To win the war on terror, we must also win the war of ideas -- the battle for the minds of those who are being recruited by terrorist networks across the globe.
And for every orchard we bulldoze, every town we lock up, every child shot at a checkpoint, why it just gets easier, right Donnie? Hearts and Minds, redux.
It's gonna be long war on Metaphors, longer still while Auntie Donnie and his ilk are running the show. Maybe that anonymous Troll at the 1600 Crew will be doing us a favor a getting rid of Auntie Donnie...now how do we get rid of the rest of the neocons?
...and ya took the load, took the load right off me..
