Something about having the president with nothing between him and murdering thousands but a button makes me uneasy. Of course, the way this president has mangled foreign policy, i guess we have that already.

Is no one else upset by this? I keep picturing a time tested General in a dark room, with some sweaty underling at a computer terminal.

General: Are you certain Mr. President? (a few muffled sounds come from the phone he is holding) Yes sir.
General: The plan is a go son. Initiate.
Young Sweaty Man: But sir, those are American protesters. I thought we were just trying to scare them!
General: Boy, do you want to peel potatoes till you're discharged for carpal tunnel?
Young Sweaty Man: No sir! (young sweaty man gives the initiate command, and blood insues on the computer screen.)
