"And I said, it isn't going to work with this team, because there's only going to be one alpha dog in country, and that's me. When the Iraqi come up with their tail up, my tail goes higher, when they growl, I growl louder, when they bark, I jump on them and I kick them to the ground, because I'm in charge, and you work for me. So, when the situation goes to hell in a handbasket, I don't want you running around with fear in your eyes, I want you looking up and looking at me and focused on me. As long as I'm standing there, proud, in charge, in control, you don't have to worry about a thing. Don't worry about anything else that's going around you, because I'm in charge, I'm the alpha dog, and when the situation calms down I'm going to turn you on task, and I want you to perform."Is it my imagination, or does it sound like Scotty might be subliminally visualizing himself jacking off in front of a 14-year old in a Burger King parking lot there? Just reading between the lines...
Here's my own read on this. Ritter saw and was alarmed by the prisons. It made him mad. He beacme a loose cannon. In the Senate hearings Biden busted him, something snapped -- Ritter was vanquished before the alpha dog or some such rot. Ritter however tried to work through his feelings regarding the abused children in Iraqi prisons by redirecting that feeling into sexually caring for random acquantices in "Kiddie" interent chat-rooms -- even though he knew many of those kiddies were other role-playing adults and internet cops. That assuaged his inner morality's sense of vanquishment -- consistent with the "everything is perverted and wasted" sense that came with that vanquishment.See my reply 24 on the FR thread "PRISONS FOR CHILDREN DISCOVERED IN BAGHDAD "To further wear that perversion's hair shirt -- to complete his sense of "submission" to the dark side -- he took up the Iraqi Regime's cause.
