Why Obama bought into the generals' arguments is a mystery to me, not having been a fly on the Oval Office wall. Perhaps, as a green president, he felt he had to defer to their greater expertise. Escalating in Afghanistan does not come normally to mind like an idea springing from Zeus's head. A certain amount of mental conditioning was required. Obama had to be intellectually prepared to accept such an idea. And one can only wonder. There is a story there. But in the meantime, the world pays the consequences.
The Wulfshead club is a well known watering hole for all the strange and unusual people in the world. And for those just passing through... No one's quite sure exactly where the club itself is located, and the very anonymous management likes to keep it that way, but there are authorized access points at locations all around the world, if you know where to look. And if your name's on the approved list. ~Simon Green, Daemons Are Forever
