Reply #23: Yep. That is something we must NEVER forget. The ONLY problem [View All]

these bastards see with what's gone on is that it was HANDLED BADLY. It was the incompetence, stupid. It's not their plan or their policies or their overriding philosophy or their world conquest vision or anything of that sort that was totally fucked. It was merely the execution that was totally fucked. They still give themselves a pass. They miss the whole point.

That's why we have to keep our eyes on them, VERY CLOSELY and CONSTANTLY. They undoubtedly feel that their ideas were/are worthy and undeserving of being so wretchedly carried out. WHICH MEANS... they're going to be watching just as carefully and closely for the next opportunity to launch their schemes, assuming that THIS time they'll get it done properly. I suspect that one of their new imperatives is to find the next "leader" who'll carry their ball all the way to the end zone, and restart this nightmare all over again.

Remember "Mad-Eye Moody" from the Harry Potter books! A parable for our time. He was the grizzled, battle-scarred veteran wizard who taught the "Defense Against the Dark Arts" class one year. He repeatedly exhorted Harry and the rest of his students to remain on alert. He'd bellow "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!!" at them on a frequent basis. It's a MOST worthy lesson for us all. Because the neoCONS will not give up and go away. Heaven forbid they actually admit they were wrong, which they don't believe for a nanosecond. They have too much faith and too big an investment in their overriding policies and world-view. They WILL try it again if they get half a chance. BET ON IT.
