Really, what does everyone expect?
Obviously they don't know how the dogs running the power base really work. It becomes the secret Badge of Honor.

So the guy resigned to save face, and maybe his marriage and the millions he'd lose in a divorce settlement. Gotta explain it to the wife and grandkids too. Glory be. What a time we're having with this.
Is everyone getting a good look on how NOT to do it?

As for the Shock and Awe dude, anyone guess who he is?

To re-implant the spectacle of Shock and Awe, let's remind you sheep here of what Bush and Rumsfeld proposed to to capture the hearts and minds of those democracy-loving Iraqis:

>MODERN WARFARE ISN'T ONLY ABOUT KILLING — it's about inspiring mass terror. That's why on the first day of Gulf War II: Die Harder, the Pentagon reportedly intends to launch 300 to 400 cruise missiles at targets in Iraq — more than during the entire 40 days of the first Gulf War.
"You have this simultaneous effect, rather like the nuclear weapons at Hiroshima, not taking days or weeks but in minutes," says Harlan K. Ullman, the co-author of the 1996 book that defined the strategy that the U.S. military will be following. Euphemistically known as "Shock and Awe," the plan is designed to cow those Iraqis it doesn't blow up into immediate submission.

Gotta love our foreign policy.
