As to Whiskey’s comments…Ragnarok in Pakistan will be Dear Leader’s ‘fish or cut bait’ moment. Sure, he’ll loudly proclaim ‘it’s all Bush fault’, but that will only gain him a breath or two before the wall falls on him. If he fails to secure the Paki nukes, the MSM cloak of protection won’t be able to cover his sorry ass for two milliseconds…and no, making the military the ‘fall guy’ won’t fly either.

Abandonment of the Afghan Area forces [not to mention all the NATO troops present...] would be the end of his administration. Americans don’t look kindly on quitters, they’re even less kindly towards clueless, timid leaders [see Carter's current 'street-cred' with average 'normal' American...screw the moonbats, they're a minority amongst the general population].

All of the current Beltway ‘street theater’ would disappear like a puff of smoke should Ragnarok come.

One other point, if you think Cheney’s noisy now, you ain’t seen nuthin yet. He’ll become DL’s worst nightmare…and he’ll get all the air-time he needs [and I might add, turn into the defacto head of the Repubs in the process]. And as to Petraeus, he’ll be too busy with his own ‘Chosen Reservoir’ moment to worry about the goings-on back here…but if anybody could pull it off, he could.
