On the occasion of another audio greeting from the Wit of Waziristan perhaps we can profitably review the box score thus far.

At really trivial cost in manpower and money, ‘Sama has turned the United States into the stumbling pitiful giant that the Soviet Union only dreamed of.

We have fallen, and continue to fall, into every trap our cunning adversary sets—if there is a Ulysses Award for most creative use of the Trojan Horse, surely the successful imposition of war madness and mindless panic upon an entire population guarantees that ‘Sama will leave any competition (current or historical) in the dust.

Worse still, the best and brightest (presidentially) that we can expect to elect until Kucinich gains a foot and loses a flying saucer, is cheerfully driving us over the very same cliff,.

With enemies like us, who needs friends? Not ‘Sama., Ruling Class Managers ought to be able to grasp the fundamental budgetary law of hierarchical prioritiies.

“Every allocation of finite resources crowds out something”:

Money is finite. Attention is finite. Person-hours are finite. Stamina is finite.

Those who trumpet the advent of a “9/12” reality utterly fail to understand that noise drives out data, panic drives out thought, and war drives out law.
