Thanks for this Nathaniel. I have always found Parry to be essential reading ever since he broke Iran-Contra.
His reference to "Seven Days in May" is indeed intriguing. What I find disjointed about it is the supposition that Obama is the clean clear-eyed boy trying to do the best and honest thing for his nation. To me that doesn't jive. I see Obama a captive to the bloody awful Brzezinski Brigade.
