Turns out it’s run by Mike D’Andrea. You know Mike. He used to run the CIA’s detention and interrogation program, the water thing. So now he runs the targeted killing program. Much cleaner, you don’t even have to see or smell your enemy. None of that messy, Hemingway mano a mano stuff, just kinda long distance. You can knock off at five and still get to happy hour at a Vegas strip show. War is hell.
You wanna hear something funny? The Times refers to him as a “gaunt, chain-smoking convert to Islam.” That, of course, is the funniest thing we ever heard. A CIA mobster? Convert to Islam? What? Only in America. He’s not even a Yale man.
One can only hope that the chain-smoking thing will do the job.
As for the war machine, why can’t we be more like the Swiss, or better yet, the Icelanders?
