Over our head.

"hortatory subjunctive" is the latest excuse. Again, I believe I saw this coming and had touched on a similar issue just recently.[A & B] The above link seems rather authoritative but a more definitive explanation is even less an excuse. But it may be in the ballpark but still an out if you look at the "deliberative subjunctive".[The definition just above "hortatory subjunctive".] The similar field I hit from may be strike one and two. OK, I am carrying a baseball field metaphor a little too far and I am not the only one swinging and missing.

But "Give 'em a break" [A] is in the area of a conditional reference in a similar manner that is not necessarily suggestive. "all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001 ], and the naysayers will come around"

But "failure is not an option" [B] is a declarative grammatical oxymoron. Still I am only doing this off the top of my head, and may just now have gotten a little closer to the field than simply a "true oxymoron" [as I had noted.]

Oh well, the point is that there seems building evidence that they [the adminstration] have couched every action and intention in confusion, even when they are at their clearest. This could be just a result of creative CTR,(covering their rear), but I am talking about their preemptive confusion and grammar.

Note that the two previous examples are not just about me or them, but some of us on the critical side [can] get lost in the rhetoric too, while sometimes their grammar is more reliable or at least carefully calculated. [The truth leaks.]

[Also the biblical preemptive excuse. "let us" does not seem to be recalled.]

An even worse ride:Plan Ready for Iran

It might be one thing for Empire to win, but who will be the loser, even if it could? Not China or other powers, no matter what they choose. Failure is too scary to imagine, but progress is even scarier work. And with preemption on the table?
"Help me Obi-Wan///"
There is no secret message there or suggested solution, but it may not be just about "the force", but every player has a part and countries and corporations seem to play for keeps.
"As long as" who is the dictator?

"Failure is not on option..." is the most true oxymoron *. Failure is a result we must live or die with. In the case of the NSPD51, if failure is not preempted, or caused, it is at least incentivised and to some rewarded.

[apologies for a linky piece, all of which I have not read, and for any excessively creative wording *]

[It is funny how I seem to form a rather loopy cycle myself, as I had intended to insert somewhere a Huffington Post link. Not that particular one, but just the site in general. Speaking of Generals: Wesley Clark. Speaking of failures. Putin's eyes, which Bush looked into. (see paragraph before last "other powers") Our only hope.]

THANK YOU: Progressives Everywhere, in particular Huffington Post and Common Dreams
Speaking of forutituous links. The Telegraph and mine
with a search of "telegraph" and search "blows" it. Speaking of dreams. It is about the nightmare.

Democrats are about the American dream, Republicans are about keeping it that. And even the dream is a nightmare for the world.

* there is probably a better word for it, but then look at what we are dealing with.

[11:08 AM - - As I have noted, I have not read or reread all of the above links, and there are even some that I had intended to, but I must add this one,{Illiberal Moderates: The Global Swing Vote} by Amitai Etzioni - - a piece which I did just read and suggest caution in reading and sorting it out, but I do agree with it's approach. I have been familiar with his work prior to 1995, and that may have been important in my seeing the "grand misconception" even before I knew who was promoting it. Re: the misconceptions of Huntington and Fukuyama.]

Nature is an Oxymoron

By Definition a Paradox.
When a noun, it is usually a mother...
But ask for a third opinion.

Catch-22?

Or welcome to the Rat Race?

The actual trap.

Fair and balanced?

Liberal reticence an oxymoron?

The new Rat Trap?

Catch-44 rebound ed?

*I don't know if I am really saying anything here, but the word oxymoron comes to mind, yet sometimes even they are justified (oximorons, that is) as reality is a paradox, and we are fighting over just what is certifiable. And some are just fighting to change the subject. By George I think I nailed it. Who knows better than a pair o'docs? Ask for another subject or more patients.
