I noticed that the recent saber-rattling done by the US military on the US media was done by serious generals making their threats to invade Libya. It suddenly sunk-in that these generals had gone right to the TV without ever bothering to mention or even show the president. Obama was conspicuously missing from this process.
It dawned on me that those generals have dropped the facade of democratic protocol and just went right to the TV. In other words we have a military government that makes the decisions. They've dropped the pretense of going through the president and commander in chief. They now go right to the public through their corporate media partners.
Who is making the decision to invade Libya? The military is. The great "Change" president is AWOL on this process. They slipped-up and went right to their true face. Or did they even slip-up?
