From Stalin airbrushing comrades from official Soviet history to Hitler arresting or killing the allies that brought him to power to Saddam Hussein murdering a full third of the Iraqi Parliament within hours of attaining power, it\u2019s always the same story. These people can sense weakness and attack their own when they sense an opportunity.<\/p>\n
This kind of reminds me of the infamous Baxter-Lopez affair. Many years ago when I was still an NCO in 1st Ranger Battalion we were wrapping up a training exercise in California, Camp Parks I think. <\/p>\n
Anyway, we all got a 24 hour pass before heading back to Savannah. So the next morning we are all sitting on a tarmac waiting on C141\u2019s to pick us up when suddenly about a dozen cop cars come screaming on the scene and promptly arrest two Rangers for a heinous attack they perpetrated the night before.<\/p>\n
They attacked a nurse. Raped her, shot her and dumped her body off a bridge. Miraculously, she lived and managed to drag her bloodied body, barely clinging to life, back to the roadway and was spotted by a passing off-duty EMT.<\/p>\n
Baxter and Lopez were fingered rapidly and then turned on each other even faster. They are both still serving life in San Quentin.<\/p>\n
Why is this story relevant?<\/p>\n
Because these two savages would likely have walked had they just killed the woman who provided the only link that this crime was committed by Rangers.<\/p>\n
Has Obama made the same mistake? It is certainly starting to look that way. The Obama-Emanuel Chicago poli-syndicate tossed Howard Dean under the bus in much the same way that those Rangers did that young nurse off a bridge.<\/p>\n
In political terms they ravaged him just as the nurse was tortured. Dean was given no voice on the platform, no primetime speech, no cabinet position, not even an ambassadorship to some far away, insignificant post; and apparently he\u2019s just a bit pissed about it.<\/p>\n
