Good post as always, H2O Man. I wonder if the MIC are upset at the possibility of seeing an end to their profitable wars? Well, no I don't wonder about that actually lol!

This statement is something we saw even during the Bush years when people like Comey, a Republican, was unwilling to follow orders that were not in the best interests of the country:

I also think that there are loyal public servants who are working to both support and protect Obama.

There seems to be an internal battle going on for the soul of this country and we know so little about it.
