My Politics, My Page Department: Yes, Im paying attention -- so heres how the drum beat for the latest war installment goes... in 10 steps over the summer in an election year. 1. Create and arm - then pop-up new vague, fuzzy edged multiple named & located enemy - Pause 2. Have them attack, maim, behead American (preferably someone in media themselves) worker 3. Send Diplomats - claim international coalition (send big bucks to allies - apply We Tried Diplomacy argument - pause 4. Escalate fear potential theyre coming here, theyre RIGHT over the boarder 5. Send advisers say no troops on the ground OR it will be over in 6 months - pause for opposition outcry of weakness. 6. Trot out Military Leaders recommending troops be sent - pause for political outcry 7. Bow to military expertise send small amount of troops - slaughter them. Follow with complaints of NOT ENOUGH troops. 8. Send more troops (along with private contractor support) 9. Expand area of engagement to include any other area unlucky enough to have our resources (read national interest) within their boarders 10. Sell yellow ribbon auto magnets & candy bars at check outs to support our troops. Does ANY of this sound FAMILIAR?
