Hillary Tattles on Big Daddy Pentagon

There was a big breuhaha today over the fact that an underling at the Pentagon attempted to dish out some Bush like propaganda to Senator Hillary Clinton.  Telling her that her request for the Pentagon to build out an exit strategy and plan from Iraq, played into the hands of terrorists.

So she published the letter that the Pentagon underling has used to try and put the Senator in her place.  She effectively tattled on Big Daddy Pentagon, showing the stooges at the Pentagon that she may not know much about war but she is battled tested in the art of political warfare.

The Pentagon now knows that they have been in a fight, but the fight has not furthered the cause of actually building an exit plan.  That should probably not come as a surprise as there is no way in the world that the Pentagon is going to cede hard fought territory in Iraq.  They won it in battle and do not want to let it go regardless of what the politicians want.  The reality is that through Iraq the pentagon now has its fingers on the pulse of America and that pulse is powered by oil.

The last thing they are going to do is open up the tonneau cover on their bullet proof gas powered duelly and start handing out freebies to politicans like Clinton. Clinton knows the power of politics, but the Pentagon knows the power of the gun and the power of oil. Gun and oil will typically when a real dog fight every day of the week.
