I guess it would take a revolt to impress you! :)
The military is trained not to think too much, but to do or die. When these people begin to go public with their thoughts it gives cover to those that are not in the military to crank up the volume. As deaf as the decider appears to be, he does have to consider his "legacy". The fact that "staying the course" is no longer being parroted shows that occasionally a thought penetrates.
I hope the election on Tuesday will teach him some humility.

I suppose. And the revolt won't happen.
They are too well trained and disciplined. Having their civilian paper print a criticism is a bold step for the military mind, but it won't change the chimp's mind. If the elections go really bad, the chimp could declare martial law, and I would bet dollars to doughnuts that these same military personnel would follow orders and put down the citizenry.
As usual, I would LOVE to be wrong. I kinda doubt it though...

A revolt would certainly impress me.
It would mean that the collective lobotomy wasn't completely successful, and that would be impressive!

On the other hand, we don't want to be a Banana Republic! :)

Ummm . . . you mean we aren't yet?
Not being the B.R.A. (Banana Republic of America) seems more wishful thinking than reality these days.

Bush was first installed by the Supreme Court not the
