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.


Once again, you are presupposing a premise, which is borne solely from
your personal opinion, and then assigning it as fact, and then using
it to justify your own conclusion. You don't want me to give you yet
another lesson on logical fallacies do you?


Of course, I can't prove this.....


Key statement.

, but you've got to admit that some
people do things flashy, and some reach the same goal in more subtle ways.


But there is no evidence that "flashy" is Bush's modus operandi.

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.


Since your premise is speculative , your disgust is likely misplaced.
