The saga of this general reminds me of Othello on one hand and Don Quixote on the other.
There is something very important that humanity has lost over time- Aristotle's 'Deus ex machina'- or rather, the hope, belief, and practice of healing.
For was it totally un-anticipated that a biographer would escape the 'transferance' trap when the subject is among the high and mighty?
There was some attempt to heal in Bill Clinton's case. Why didn't we have the same effort now?
Maybe the C.I.A is so much of a monster that it cannot survive in light. But what does it mean to have democracy founded on such premises?
Isn't it evident that Obama is head of very weak government that can only destroy but not heal?
As for the education of David, well, it was so mis-education! This is the Quixotic part.

Tycho where did you go to school and what did you study?  "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Patreus was simply the fall guy for the 9/11 libya debacle. the fact that passengers disembarked at an undesignated airport is just diversionary. Even Lewinskys co wife is leaving under other pretexts but bottom line is 'they are stepping aside' kenyan style I may be wrong..but then I could be right

Maybe better, for it is now easy to identify the wolf in sheep skin.

This what you get down that rabbit hole:
Quote: In a 2006 op-ed by Terry O'Neill in the conservative Canadian news magazine, Western Standard, Chossudovsky (founder, editor, and director of the Centre for Research on Globalisation the owners of GlobalResearch.ca ) was included on the list of "Canada's nuttiest professors, those whose absurdity stands head and shoulders above their colleagues." He who can express in words the ardour of his love, has but little love to express. - Petrach, Son. (That men by various ways arrive at the same end. - Montaigne, The Essays of.)

I guess Washingtonsblog is not a proper site?

Why do you speak in parables? The Man God was in the old, He is now, and will be, forever. Parables? No. It is you who is seeing parables. I try to be as precise as possible.

'Sense' and 'nonsense'. There are things that didn't make sense when you were a child, but now they do. What did they say to Zarathusthra upon his descent? And now, aren't we his erstwhile disciples? Haiya! Kwa hivyo nime chapa? Okay!
