The miserable American President stepped bouncing to the microphones
with his basketball walk and with his usual staccato delivery perfect
for ticking off inmates of a remand home and announced that he had
relieved General McChrystal of his command in Afghanistan. In fact the
General had resigned. To anyone but an American it was clear that he
had meant it to happen. It was no injudicious act but rather a master
tactician's carefully designed plot to disconnect from the failure
of the democratic system to wage war not just honourably but
rationally.

Think for a moment. The man repeatedly tells us, like poor Sarkozy,
that he is President, and as such must act thus. On this occasion he
announced, as if to convince not just us but himself, that he was
Commander-in-Chief. Democratic politicians suffer from the collective
delusion that a war can be conducted at long distance, and cannot face
that combat troops and grieving parents look on them as despicable
cowards. Such is the political animal whatever his party allegiance.
From the middle of the hell of Stalingrad the German General
conducting the siege sent a devastating telegram to Hitler, safe in
his Berlin bunker: "I am here! Where are you?"
It was, in effect, the message of the brave weather-beaten soldier
back from the front as he faced the fade-creamed face of the
politician ready not for battle but for the television cameras.
If the political class were not in collapse on a world level, and
human tolerance at a terminal phase, one would propose that it should
be made mandatory that on a declaration of war the entire cabinet of
ministers led by premiers and presidents should proceed to the
front-line and face military action. We would enter an age of peace.
They will not fight the enemy. Part of their psychosis is that they
have a right to send young men to die while they consider it 'their
war'. The abominable staring-eyed Premier of Britain during Iraq
talked of 'my Army', and he was not even Head of State.
Internally, the political system is falling apart. Outrageously, the
U.S. President said publicly that he thought the remarkable C.E.O. of
BP should be sacked. He openly announced that this criminal
corporation should pay for every dollar needed to restore order in the
Gulf. Really! Well done! So the great Corporations and Consortia are
under Presidential command also! Then, will he order the bailed-out
banks to pay back to the ruined citizens the 'vanished' billions?
He is allowed to play Commander-in-Chief – that only costs human
lives. He is not allowed to command the banks or to sack the bankers.
With a Vice-President looking every day more like their
cortisone-puffed Secretary of State and with an ex-Israeli ballet
dancer Chief-of-Staff is it any wonder that they cannot oversee a
Himalayan war from Washington?
