In the course of "normal" military affairs, the chain of command is well-defined. Field commanders have plenty of authority to order strikes and when a further sign-off is needed, it goes up the chain to the Secretary of Defense and ultimately to the C in C, Prince George. But this kind of authorization is formal and lacks the excitment craved by a "bring 'em on" type of guy.
With CIA operations, it's different. The CIA reports directly to the Prince and the Prince can ask for things unseemly otherwise. Like a direct video-feed from a Predator about to smite an enemy that lurks. And the ability to give the "git em" order directly to the operators. After all, where's the fun in being Preznit if you can't play Doom-For-Real? And hey, if it turns out it was just a bunch of villagers, their wimmin and some snot nosed kids, it's not like they were Merkins, was it?

I can't believe I once bought into the nonsense that Bush is "stupid." I think he's doing really well. He has good answers ready for every issue and delivers them with conviction.

Fascism is tied into a philosophy of "we must DO something; no time for thought!". It's not suprising that folks who deep in their hearts hate democracy and debate and compromise and negotiation would be supporting this kind of pseudo-vigilante bullshit.
And, Chucky - Bush "has the answers ready" 'cause he's getting them through the radio strapped to his back.
Shit for Brains Steve J here, Brad. Actually, the reason we had to control comments was because LGFers, enraged by being exposed for the vile racists and bigot they are, deluged this site with comment spam. When that wasn't enough, they started posting alleged links to child porn.
Kind of tells the story, doesn't it?
