gutless. 

Fear,  Yes, I believe that's it Michael.  I've seen it in his eyes for a while now.  Noted it in his mannerisms.  He's a defeated leader in survival mode.  Let's hope our training camp in the mountains will renew him and our belief in his cause. 

let me very clear.  all the sentiments that are being bandied about; just so much talk.  if you actually read them, they presuppose a position of power.  but that's not where we are coming from, and it's not where comrade fidel was coming from and it's not where comrade chavez is coming from.  we're insurgents.  unlike your typical american politician who spends 80% of their rhetorical time pointing out how they they loathe special interests and couldn't find the washington beltway on a map even if they were being waterboarded (not that we water board people, but i'm just sayin'), we actually do exist outside the power structure.  the people want fundamental change, not flavor of the month. 

you want to see how "change" looks to the entrenched?  how's that freedom agenda working out in afghanastan?  yah, not so good.  and america's domestic policy in pakistan is still to desperately prop up and maintain a leader who is neither respected, feared or liked by the people he "governs".  check it out:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Pakistan's elections were supposed to usher in democracy after eight years of military rule, but for Talat Hussain life doesn't look much different. Every time his TV station tries to air shows critical of President Pervez Musharraf, the screen goes black.

at least that could never happen here.  oh...wait.  yah, not so good.  they've switched over to their foreign policy plabook for domestic purposes.  teh hot!  their story is about as believable as you would expect.

well, i think it's about time i reminded people what power is.  the training camp: yah, it's gonna be an old time "come-to-revolution" revival.  plan on it.  we're coming back from that thing tanned, rested and angry.  it's go time...
