It was a foreign policy trope. Hmm. I guess I was right...at least in the word "trope". In double checking my use of the word, I addressed my project* in one way. I have yet tor read the link under the "word", but it was found within a google of "Nixon to China" and suggests "Trump to North Korea" which is one answer to my slightly facetious** search.
Now that I have expanded the geometry or loopiness of the subject, another one just may be "Trump to tropes." In an earlier pondering of this project, I thought of "Trump to the red line." Today I really was recognizing the difficulty in this effort, as in the Trump will set you free.
Here is another project.

** This word is attempting to take the edge off a very serious matter; finding a parallel trope for Trump. (Ironically it just might be "Trump to Trump.")

Phase II?
Just what is Phase II? I'm not sure what I meant at the time. It was an allusion* to the investigation that never was done on the use of intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq resolution. "We need some movement" was a reference to what Bush wanted on the Middle East Crisis or the U.N. in general.
My "bullet" points were on target to hint at the concept that the movement needed to come in his own administration. No triumvirate[E.D.] of past presidents will have any more success in diplomacy than the call for ceasefire or possibly the lack of demand for one.
The interesting tangent(s) noted in the footnote below were more accurately a triagulation. My implication was to save you the time by indication it was only a link to a dictionary. But the triumvirate link was more than tangent in the word "allusion"s relationship to illusion and delusion. All useful terms in foreign policy or diplomacy, but the magic may be in their administration. The fact is that we have a triumvirate designed into the constitution. Three branches of power, that serve to "check and balance". September 11th may have changed all that, but my opinion that it was preemptive in nature, merits serious consideration of and by the media and the people.
Any involvment by intermediaries to the administration should adress them first. The only hope is that it is Nixonian in nature, but like Nixon to China, where can Bush go? [Now that is a tangent and an allusion, and a dilemma.] Bush could go to the Saudis or the Corporations or just Oil and demand that they stand for freedom and democracy. Or the people could just change congress and work to bring back the triumvirate.
Phase II also pertained to the advances that have been made to my blog in the area of providing video links and the ability to comment. Both relate to the pacing and content that needs further review or work, the former looking back and the latter moving forward.
Here are two pieces that could be used as a table of contents for my points made over the years and summarized above.**
On authoritarianism or "Do as I say, not as I do"
And The Hidden Power or con-science.
I guess maybe Phase II means that I will do more "hard work" so that the read will be easier for my audience.

OH, THE IRONY!!!
Is it just me
or is it just ice.
It certainly seems ironic that terrorists are confessing while politicians are pleading their case on the tortured field of justice. Irony may be in the eye of the beholder, yet the competition for finding the logic in both cases is staggering, and maybe stronger in the case of martyrdom. Maybe after mentioning the irony, I have ironed this out, for was not Nixon a martyr of sorts? To what I don't know. But justice is the irony, in that both cases short circuit it. One from the top, the other from the bottom, the irony may be cut by the idea that they are getting their orders top down, while justice it seems is bottoms up and down the drain.
[Speaking of hot air and bubbles: OK it was hydrogen.]
ACTION ITEM !!! [
There is enough irony in the pardon situation, the confession situation may be more clear, as making martyrs will continue the war on terror. The irony is not in the terrorists, it is in the war, where justice would at least take away one recruitment tool. Not to mention if you are not with us, you are against us. If terrorists are for the death penalty, where are we? It is not irony that terrorist don't want justice, because in this case the process has been violated, which gets in the way of their martyrdom. By forgoing any change in the process, they risk progress being made, and one more recruitment tool lost. That may be the exception that proves the irony, in that the administration used exceptional logic.
Meanwhile: It might be wise to keep or promote Patrick Fitzgerald. Speaking of Nixon, there is irony in the Nixon to China concept. And hope in the Obama from Chicago process. And justice may be around the corner, but economics is the bigger picture.

It is hard to say Herman means anything literally.
Or actually?
He did not say "I'm a leader not a reader",
nor did the Schwarzenegger.
It is about lede'er ship[!]
[11-21-11: As "A Wonder..." is held in draft, I am processing a Revolution. Speaking of Calm Cast, I didn't mean to forcast.]
[As for weather[!], recent Republican interference in presidential foreign policy* is dangerous** stuff, and further muddles the mess age and message. I don't know if anyone can ever be a Nixon to China after this administration, or a Cain to business.]
* recent event references not noted in link
** a,b
[note: [!] = (sic)or sarcasm/irony Also "A Wonder..." under construction.]
[Segue: good for?(sic?) NOT!]
[Just to be clear*** I am not opposed to six sigma or cuts, but there is a food chain, or some hierarchy which is bubble up. Incidentally, it is a lot like the cycle of life and climate change. The segue or root here is the cost effectiveness, not trickle down. Money is not the root of all evil, nor is any tool or process, necessarily.]
*** the NOT! is not fully read yet(NFRY)
[Speaking of not read yet, the point is in the lede, or prelede. It is easier to debunk, than bunker up. MORNING MESSAGE: America's Affluent and the New Bunker Down, literally(!?)]

Iron Knee?
Or I Ron Knee?
My first instinct was based on, this can't be right, could it? I guess it can. But the Immelt to Jobs is like a Nixon to China ploy. Unfortunately, that foreign policy reference may have backfired a bit, military friction has become economic friction. But a better word would be competition. Or would it?
But really, I am conflating two fields into one, or is it a third? The Tax Code. While it is not all about who's at fault, tax cuts or spending, or economic or foreign policy, having the biggest con(I mean beneficiary of tax policy and foreign policy) pushing for an overhaul, we just may eliminate many loopholes and level the playing field a bit. And as for contrast, Obama to Libya is NOT the Bush to Iraq or Cheesehead to Wisconsin moment.
[On another line: Democrats can hold the line and compromise, as long as there is a line that some Republicans will greet.

Churned Media
Now that's the ticket!
"Earned Media" was the term that Sharon Angle malappropriated, but this is the punchline to my wave theory* of the mess age and the difficult dynamics of what is on the table.
* the squeaky wheel gets the oil, I mean media.
[Trump to Reality (Or Eye of The Tiger?)
Translation: Maybe I am looking for a silver lining, but is The Donald potentially the Nixon to China in all this dark matter.]
[Now what about Re-Birthers? By Jingo. Not to mention. And I am not talking Manchurian Candidate. SEGUE I think I had better take a double Sabbatical, for "business reasons" and for cleaning up this act.]

Ping Pong Congress
Or Diplomacy?*
**[Health Reform that is.]
Between Ed Schultz and his spin-off, NorMan GoldMan(insert 2nd hour today)?
If it is ping pong, what is the scoring system? Is it We against change or corporations passing the buck?
[1-5-10: David Sirota on Secret Plans?
*also adjusted Diplomacy link from.]
**[1-6-10 H.R. clarification added along with "check up from the neck" down, it doesn't ryhme but it is Rush via Reagan. Rush Limbaugh endorses overseas public options. My original spin on this was the guts that Ed and Norm have, and a crack at the "Nixon to China" philosophy and the Obama to Corporations hope. (See My Comment)]
