Lt. Watada: "Unbecoming" Mistrial

“Very interesting" Oops, wrong accent or show.

“I see nothing" from Hogan’s Heroes may be the one I was stretching for.

My commentary has to do with whose perspective or spin is taken off from. As in “here comes the judge": "saying the soldier did not fully understand a document he signed admitting to elements of the charges." And this take from other participants .

My perspective? Should not intention count? And what was the intention of the war? And can this ever stop spinning if "intention" is not on the table, but the war was all about preemption of intentions. I am not sure just who understood what about the charge but the defense put it all on the table, and it was "not a matter that can be settled in military court."

NOT A MATTER THAT CAN BE SETTLED IN MILITARY COURT?

I believe that the 1st and 3rd bold are from "Laugh In" or similar times, but that is not to make light of the seriousness of our "defining" times, as in Bush's ideological run around the dictionary of about all that matters.

But as you can see from the vision thing, it may not work if you focus, and I could be wrong about the links. NOT EXACTLY BUT...

NOT A MATTER? THERE IS NO OFFENSE IF THERE CAN BE NO DEFENSE.
Ow! The irony of circular intention or "the yellow brick road". Or maybe it is that there are only three branches of government and conscience is where principles are found or lost or the battle ground we should be on.

The Other Debates

Substance over*** Style
Here I go again,
preemptive overreading**. 

* preceding two links are top embeds in prior two links
** links all inserted before reading ** or any others(including last insert ***)
*** retro GPS of sorts(C-lede/heading)

[Ouch! Mid^ -PI solar^^ flare... ***]

^ scroll over(not exactly^^^)
^^ having read ***...
Inslee is no Biden or Obama, McKenna is no Romney or Ryan. ^^(Re...)
But on the issue of conflict of interest, the conflict is ironic.



^^^ F'n notes:  Show me the money, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road ? !

^^(Re...) Don't call me..(Re...cycling^^)
...except for the Congressional connection(Biden/Inslee/Ryan and party differences).  Note that it is quite different to be a Republican governor in a Democratic controlled state(Romney), than a bipartisan Democratic president in a more evenly controlled but partisanly divided congress.  Republicans have been against what they might have been for if they had been in control(less so maybe locally given this context).  The debt being the Toll Keen under the bridge.   C-Mythmatic. Not to mention the road we hoe or Rove. The irony is even more dimentional in the local situation in that, Inslee as governor (re:legislative branch) would be more Obama(re:leg.br.) than McKenna as governor would be either Romney as executive.(re:either state or national leg.br.)  See Romney touting his term in Massachusettes with an 86% Democratic legislature. (It doesn't take much to sit down and cooperate.)  This is no excuse for thinking that divided government means more partisanship rather than cooperation and compromising as Democratic principles. (Further editing if NOT *,^'s may be needed[!]#$%)

Perry Wink-L Herring...

Straw Boogie Man*or The Curtains at the end of the Yellow Brick Road.
OK, I am mixing metaphors not to mention cultural references, but that Perry sure can dish 'em. I have yet to watch the debate, but have seen some reviews and snippets.

* "It is a Ponzi scheme*** to tell our kids that are 25 or 30 years old today, you're paying into a program that's going to be there," he said. "Anybody that's for the status quo with Social Security today is involved with a monstrous lie to our kids, and it's not right." [Nobody on the stage or in the Democratic Party, let alone Barack Obama is for "the status quo with Social Security". Now all he has to do is click his ruby red slippers**. BTW: The two sentences, if they are contiguous, are half non-sequitor and half depending on who the "25 or 30 year(s) old(s)" vote for.]

** or as Ed Schultz might say, notch back the rhetoric, liberally paraphrased (and hope to link) that is.(something about hyperbole)

*** BTW: if it is a ponzi scheme, what are insurance companies? Especially when they need bailing out.

Pawlenty? Pawlease.

Listening to Howard Fineman and rumors that the Republicans may need to reschedule their convention it seems that Obama has rained on their parade. "A base irony" as Olbermann put it, "and a hoot", not as I would put it. Apparently Obama has struck the cave that counts. Chris Matthews has been a hoot as well, thanks for the secret weapon or whatever the reference above. His hint that someone may be in hiding or leaking, but what I add is a reference to an adage. The land of Pawlenty? Is it any reference that leads to streets paved in gold, or is it just follow the yellow brick road?

[Rather than be too obtuse, the implication is that the tone of the Republican convention could not match that of the Democrats so their lack of spirit will be in honor of the suffering victims. Either that or their prayers backfired. I won't even joke about what to pray for, but I do hope for a parting of the ways.]
