Puzzle if the American public was educated to see the
commander-in-chief as an unambiguous warrior long before the
soap-opera slow and unusually claustrophobic "24." Note "Air Force
One", the 1997 Harrison Ford thriller, as a brief for omniscient
presidential powers in wartime. Mass murder, betrayal, threats,
assassination, causus belli like raindrops, and deliberate
distortion of the facts to keep the delightfully compliant media as
agog as the movie going audience. And the bad guys are terrorists
with a credible cause, an inspirational sense of self-sacrifice,
and discipline like Russian airborne. Still, the national security
apparatus of the United States in a one-man attack dog who shoots
and shoots and shoots and shoots. Can guess the Harrison Ford
approval rating was 105%. Ask who is a better model for the Ford
character. Boy Clinton, who is not known to have fired a weapon in
anger nor committed US riflemen to more than retreat? Or the
cowboy?
