let's think about this for a minute...may be there was an order to do one thing..and he has now decided to do the eagle's belly instead

so what could the coffin bearing green mantles represent IF that was one of the ways to kill us.

"...and he has now decided to do the eagle's belly instead"

IF he ist still on this side of the grass (and that's a HUGE "IF"), I would interpret "the eagle's belly" to mean Washington, D.C. before anywhere else. I'm thinking this character would like to be remembered as the mutha of all martyrs by going directly to Washington and flipping off "The Great Satan" in person.
