More General Bull

Sending Attorney General Eric Holder to Afghanistan to battle corruption is like calling on John Dillinger to guard a bank. Holder is one of the Obama administration's worst agents of lawlessness- thwarting enforcement of US immigration law and suing Arizona for attempting to do what the Federal government is abdicating. Holder has successfully suppressed the  investigation into Black Panther intimidation of voters at a Philadelphia polling station during the 2008 elections. And Holder's questionable ethics are nothing new with his history including coddling terrorists and forgiving corruption as were manifested in Holder recommending his former boss, then President Bill Clinton pardon Puerto Rican FALN terrorists who were subsequently released from US custody and advocating President Clinton extend the same "pardon" courtesy to oil magnate Marc Rich who had made a shambles of international efforts to isolate Saddam Hussein. More general thought regarding the future of four star failure Stanley McChrystal- perhaps the commander recently relieved from Afghanistan can take over for BP in the Gulf of Mexico. With such obvious public relations acumen and discretion as he demonstrated in the Rolling Stone piece and such logistical expertise as was shown in marshaling the billions of dollars in cash and resources sent to Afghanistan by the US and our allies to allow the resurgence of the nearly penniless Taliban, McChrystal might be the perfect face for the foundering oil giant. On the coming state of health care as the Federal government generally asserts more control- the one system already in the thrall of Federal control, the VA, just exposed eighteen hundred (1800) veterans to HIV and hepatitis at one of their hospitals in Missouri. All the while, President Obama's economic policies usher in a depression and generally the news is grim.
