That’s the Bush approach. It’s nice, ala GOP-e, but it doesn’t work. They’re going to attack him anyway. The whole MSM pov will be that he wasn’t wanted. I am SO tired of NICE GUY. Nice guy loses.
One can be:
--a velvet covered brick;
--a first class silver bullet;
--a courteous and compassionate executioner;
--a debonair assassin;
--a polite prosecutor;
--an erudite & refined spy skillful at murder.
What was that 5 star General's name ...Ahhh yes, Omar Bradley. He was a great guy--a soldier's general--but was also great at kicking arse and taking names, IIRC.
Otherwise, I'd agree that it seems overdue for some decisive and fierce actions to be taken and observable on a public level.
Unless, of course, the plan involves some iron clad successful stuff that MUST wait a bit longer for public knowledge.
I also quibble more than a little that "only" 60% (they'd prefer 80%) of it all will remain secret to avoid what--total global breakdown? I'm skeptical it would result in total global breakdown.
Transparency is an incredibly powerful thing--particularly when carried out with courage and integrity at upper levels of leadership. There are few things that garner respect from the lower ranks more than honest, high integrity transparency. I hope someone at the top is considering such aspects of disclosure being a great tool and benefit.
