We've managed to fire the board of directors, middle management is next
President Bush is apparently enjoying the protests over in England. The toppling of the Bush statue, echoing the toppling of the Saddam Hussein statue last spring, was an obvious means of expression for the protestors. Verbal Jazz is not here to criticize protest methods. Although , on second thought, we could grade them utilizing the Verbal Jazz new and improved rating system for movies ("Casablanca:" One whole note in 4/4 time). Never mind: Bush seemed to be amused by the protests, more than anything and attempted to link the freedom to protest with the mess we got going on in the Middle East. I wonder if Bush and Blair are relieved that the latest terrorist attack happened not in Iraq, but in Turkey, a NATO member: "Al-Qaeda hit a NATO member, time to ramp up the whupp-ass on those Motherf**kers and attack Syria," or something like that.
Verbal Jazz freely admits to rambling. President Bush said something this morning that made Verbal Jazz stand up and take notice: "if you were to view al Qaeda's organization structure as kind of a board of directors, and then there would be the operating management, we are dismantling the operating management, one person at a time. We're on an international manhunt."
At least Verbal Jazz went, "Huh?" Comparing Al-Qaeda to a corporate entity is missing entirely how al-Qaeda operates. It's kind of like calling a pitcher on a baseball team the quarterback and the catcher a defensive end. It also affirms Verbal Jazz's belief that the President views everything in terms of a business structure. This may work in an emerging oligarchy, but when dealing with a non hierarchical structure like al-Qaeda, it is simply dishonest, at best, or flagrantly misinformed, at worst. Seriously, our President doesn't even understand the organizational structure, or lack thereof, of the enemy? The business world has a phrase for it: competitive intelligence.
