So, after all this, are you saying you don't think a single person in
Washington presented a workable, covert idea to your leader?


It's certainly possible. You seem hell bent to deny that possibility.

No. What I'm saying is that a solution which did not involve big explosions
and troop movements suitable for good photographs would not serve his own
personal needs, even if a quieter, sneakier method was 100% successful as
planned. Of course, I can't prove this, but you've got to admit that some
people do things flashy, and some reach the same goal in more subtle ways. I
find his way disgusting, especially since he's happy to throw away so many
young lives, all in the name of an adrenaline rush.
