Introducing a series of free teasers.

You try to look up old friends online -- but unless his name
is something like “Rrfschwnkl Rbbowttzz”, you’re going to get far too many
hits. (Good luck with my name -- some frigging baseball
player messing up the mix.)
So -- here is a ring, cast into the waves, to see what it might bring …
“Parsons College”. "North Carolina".
“Academic Year Abroad”
(AYA). Paris. Geneva. “Dr. Deginger”.
Far too much wine, and cheese fondue. (And standing stock-still, for birds …)
Later: A visit in Berkeley. Linguistics. (I still have our conversation on tape.)
Later: A visit in Berkeley. Linguistics. (I still have our conversation on tape.)
I turned you on to Loomis & Sternberg,
and you turned me on to Glenn Gould.
So, before one of us dies --
Hi there.
[Update 5 Oct 2013] Dear Mr. Rbbowttzz:
It was nice hearing from you. I'm sure you're a very nice person, despite what you wrote.
However, I don't actually know you, don't-you-know. The use of the name "Rbbowtzz" was purely by way of illustration, though I now understand that it is an old and honored surname in your part of the forest.
Ciao.

Brilliant, Mr President
Just listened to the speech. The President has, at the last minute, pulled a rabbit
out of the hat -- calling Congress’s bluff. With one stone, he has knocked several birds off their
perch.
The speech was a coup
de théâtre, and possibly planned de
longue date.
The President, remember, was trained as a Constitutional
scholar, long before he entered the sordid world of Presidential politics. And quite possibly, late of an evening,
alone in his study, the fire dying in the grate,
over well-aged brandy, and a pipe replenished from the
Turkish slipper that he keeps on the mantlepiece,
while the city slumbered, unencumbered with the cares
that line his stoically aging face,
he reasoned thus:
“For decades now, the Republic has
been facing some disturbing trends.
(1) The ever-expanding reach of an
Imperial Presidency;
together with (partially in
consequence)
(2) The marginalization and
(consequent) infantilization of Congress.
The latter, secular trend has been conjuncturally exacerbated by
the tantrums of the Republican Freshmen.
(3) In an age of increasing American interventionism, there is a
troubling Constitutional vagueness about who can launch an act of war. True, the Constitution states that Congress
has the power to do so -- but it refrains from stating that nobody else does, independently of
Congress; and in view of recent
history, this conundrum has now become key.
(4) True, there is the well-meaning
War Powers Resolution of 1973, but
that suffers from two key weaknesses, one internal and one external:
(i) The President can unleash what
is an Act of War in fact if not in name without consent of Congress, so long as
he gets around to “notifying” them within 48 hours; further, he can ravage any countryside he pleases for up to
sixty days before, in the absence of Congressional consent, he would have to
withdraw forces -- but by then the war is a fait
accompli;
(ii) The Constitutionality of this Resolution itself has never been settled, and is
logically dependent upon the clearing-up of (3).
(5) Even the modest provisions of the War Powers Resolution have
often been honored in the breach:
for instance, the deployment of the Stuxnet virus against Iran, something
that we would consider an act of war if launched against us, was done without
consultation or public acknowledgement.
Now, if I take these considerations
before the American people, they will fall into a deep sleep before the legal
problems have even been posed, let alone argued; and if I go before the Congress, the freshman in their
beanies will throw bananas at me. How, then, to concentrate the public mind upon
these dilemmas. What I need is (as
Doctor Justice would probably put it) a coup
de théâtre -- a boffo plot-twist; a jump-the-shark.”
(The pipe has now gone out; the brandy-glass stands
empty. An insight blooms, and he
relaxes back in the old leather chair, that once belonged to Madison.)
“I have it. I shall threaten unilateral military
intervention into a MidEast slaughterhouse, and shall channel George W. Bush in
the lead-up. In
coordination, Secretary Kerry will channel Dick Cheney. The nation will be riveted to their TV
sets; debate will flourish, pro and con.
Some Congressmen will jump up and
down, demanding a voice in the decision, but no-one will pay them any
attention. Yet, in a dramatic
last-minute development, I shall go live, right after the U.N. inspectors have
left the theatre and everyone is expecting an imminent attack; I shall re-iterate my conviction that
the deed should be done; but then,
at the eleventh hour, I shall take Congress at its word, observing that the
larger context in which this present mess in Syria is only a ripple, is whether
the Congress shall continue the role envisioned for it in the Constitution, or
whether it shall devolve further into a mere sideshow for media-hogs.”
This approach masterfully compassed several objectives at
once…
(A) Had the President begun
by saying he would launch against Syria only with Congressional approval, the
matter would have dragged on, and not gotten Bashar’s attention. By the time they eventually got around
to a vote, the baseball season would be in full swing, some other atrocity
would have happened somewhere else, and the Aug 21 incident would have dropped
out of the public’s tiny attention-span.
(B) Had the President approached Congress for approval from the
outset, he would have met the usual wall of non-cooperation by those solons
whose idea of governance is bashing Obamacare. But by pretending to go forward unilaterally, he
suckered them into a trap: They demanded a say -- and now he gave
it to them.
(C) By drumming up edge-of-the-seat interest in his proposed
intervention, the President managed to “run it up the flagpole”
internationally, before committing himself. Okay, so the British refused to salute. Interesting …
(D) He has managed both to sound extremely forceful, and to
delay the actual implementation till whenever. This gives time for the U.N. inspector’s report to come
in; for cooler heads to
prevail; for new intel to surface
concerning possible rebel use of these same weapons; etc.
(E) He is requiring each member of Congress to stand up and be
counted -- put their money where their mouth is.
(F) And if, ultimately, Congress votes nay, the President can honor this just as
Cameron honored the will of his own Parliament, thus avoiding a rash and
parlous act, while yet not really climbing
down or taking it all back:
rather, the original
interventionist proposal shall have been (to use the term of the dialecticians)
‘sublated’ -- aufgehoben.
(G) And if, after all this, Bashar
should nonetheless go ahead and once again deploy chemical weapons, then there
will be no more U.S. hand-wringing and uncertainty: We’ll know the drill. Obama will once again go before Congress, and if this
time they vote Yea, he might even get the Brits to come in with him. We shall see …

The Russian President likewise made a notable speech,
remarkable for its apparent tone of moderation.
“I would like to address Obama as a
Nobel Peace Prize laureate: Before using force in Syria, it would be good to
think about future casualties,” Putin told Russian news agencies in Vladivostok
during a tour of the country’s flood-stricken Far East.
Next week’s Group of 20 economic
summit in St. Petersburg would be a good forum for discussing the Syrian issue,
he said, “so why not take advantage of it?”
Putin said he was sure the attack
was the work of rebels trying to provoke international — and especially
American — involvement in the Syrian conflict. The regime of Bashar al-Assad,
he said, would have had no reason to use chemical weapons at a time when it had
gained the upper hand in the fighting.
Putin said he and Obama have not
discussed Syria since the incident occurred.
“The U.S. president and I certainly
discussed this problem at the G8” summit in June in Northern Ireland, he said.
“And, by the way, we agreed then that we would jointly facilitate peace
negotiations in Geneva, and the Americans committed themselves to bringing the
armed opposition to these negotiations. I understand this is a difficult
process, and it looks like they haven't succeeded in this.”

But have a care.
Stalin too was a master of bluff avuncular public moderation, while
murdering opponents behind the scenes.
And indeed the reporter goes on to comment:
The Russian president is fond of
needling his opponents, often adopting a tone of apparent reasonableness tinged
with a considerable amount of condescension. A U.S. assault on Assad’s regime
would do nothing to hurt his standing, at home or in many countries abroad,
where his contempt for Washington tends to play very well.

[Update 4 September 2013] Contrast French autocracy:

L'ex-premier ministre défend le
principe d'une intervention en Syrie et
refuse un vote préalable du Parlement.
[Update] More here:
http://worldofdrjustice.blogspot.com/2013/09/brilliant-mr-president-update-post-10.html
[Update 6 October 2013] Since we posted this, the succession of military and
diplomatic victories for the Obama administration has been dazzling. Putin came round; Al-Assad has caved; and
even Iran is making nice again.
When the surprise Russian-American-Syrian initial agreement
on chemical weapons was announced, we had to listen to professional
Obama-bashers bloviate in the media about how, for technical reasons,
dismanteling was technically impossible.
Turns out the things mostly hadn’t even been weaponized, and the dismanteling has already begun:
In normal times, this all would be the Talk of the
Town; only, the Republicans have
shut down the town, and a cowed media retreats from objective assessment before
the shrillness of partisan mudslinging. Yesterday saw another triumph of intelligence planning
and special-forces implementation, in which one of the few remai ning original
al-Qaeda top brass was not only neutralized, but actually captured alive. Likewise commendable was the
simulataneous SEAL retaliation against the Shabaab on their home turf. By any
rational measure, everyone would simply salute these carefully planned and
flawlessly executed triumphs; but as the NYTimes put it on today’s front
page, “the simultaneous attacks are bound to fuel accusations that the
administration was eager for a showy victory.”
Again, no point even polemicizing against the Teabaggers on
this: truly we have reached
post-consensus politics when they throw tantrums even about matters on which
the most consensus exists -- the need to fight al-Qaeda. You might try, not to polemicize,
but to satirize this state of
affairs, by imagining an apple-pie-and-motherhood scenario in which the First
Lady praised the value of mothers breastfeeding and being denounced for it by,
say, Michelle Bachmann -- except that that actually happened. The satirist shrugs and casts his pen aside.
CONOPS: Syria
In yet another journalistic scoop, the World of Doctor
Justice has just been supplied with the Concept of Operations plan for the
upcoming festivities (er) hostilities, code-name OPERATION BASH BASHAR. This information comes to us by
way of a lowly file-clerk -- who, however, has access to absolutely everything
-- working at the supersecret installation two miles beneath the Fortress of
Solitude, where they store the Secret Plans.
Enemy action: Passes gas.
US response: Whap ‘em! Shock ‘n’ awe.
So far so good.
As is well-known (or at least widely believed), the U.S. military works
up a range of purely hypothetical attack scenarios, just in case something
comes up -- intervention in Haiti, a take-down of Iranian comms infrastructure,
even an invasion of Liechtenstein. (Dust that one off, gentleman! That insolent mountain nation must be brought to heel !!) With years to work on these, most
of them are probably militarily pretty good. But what we’re not so good at is looking ahead a few “ply”
(to use the chess-player’s terminology):
having contingency plans for each of a spectrum of possible countermoves
by the opponent.
Here is how things played out in our last two adventures:
CONOPS Afghanistan:
Go grab Ben Laden; return home to ticker-tape parade.
Unforseen development: “Uh, sorry sir, we let Ben Laden
escape. Now what?”
Contingency plan: None.
Dubya’s response: Well, as long as we’re here, let’s do
some *nation-building* ! I’m gonna
own this entire godforsaken
quagmire. Hell, we’ll still be
here in a decade. This thing’ll
last more than twice as long as WWII.
CONOPS Iraq:
Go grab Saddam’s WMDs; return home
to ticker-tape parade.
Unforseen development: “Umm … There weren’t any. But meanwhile the last vestige of civil
order has broken down.”
Contingency plan: None.
Dubya’s response: Well, as long as
we’re here, let’s do some *nation-building* ! I’m gonna own this
entire godforsaken quagmire.
This thing’ll make Afghanistan look like the teddy bears’ picnic! Bring it on !!
So okay -- we go whap Syria; by the time you read these lines, the Tomahawks may already
be flying on their merry way.
What are our contingency plans, in the following quite possible
scenarios?
Courtesy of that Lowly File-Clerk, I have them right here
before me, in a password-protected lockbox. (Lessee now,
password, hmmm, mebbe try…. SWORDFISH. --
Yep, that worked.)
Unforseen (but easily foreseeable)
Development 1:
Like every previous dictator in
similar circs, Bashar does not immediately fold, but thumbs his nose at
us. Parading (real or faked)
videos of hospitals, kindergartens, and baby-hamster farms supposedly destroyed in the U.S.
onslaught, he says: “Just
for that, now I really will use
nerve-gas!”, and he takes out another farmful of adorable baby hamsters.
US response [OPERATON HAMSTERS
REVENGE]: Whap ‘em
again! More shock, more awe!
Unforseen Development 2: In retaliation, Hizbollah
launches largest-ever rocket attack against Tel Aviv.
US response: What?! They wouldn’t do that, would they?
Unforseen Development 3: Iran makes good on its publically
stated threat to retaliate, by blocking the Persian Gulf.
US response: Umm… We register a very frosty note of protest
at the United Nations, and
disinvite the Ayatollahs from next year’s Easter egg roll on the White House
lawn.
Unforseen Development 4: Putin, long simmering over the
humiliations suffered by the former Soviet empire, responds: “We understand your concept of the
surgical strike, Mr. President. In
a measured response, we shall now sink just one (1) of your warships.”
US response: (splutter …. splutter …)
Unforseen Development 5: Israel takes advantage of the world’s
being distracted by all this, to quietly do what it has been yearning to do for
a long time, and drops a nuke on each of Iran’s suspected uranium sites.
US response: Um … er …. Cross that bridge when we come to it.
Unforseen Development 6: In a dramatic extension of the Syrian Electronic Army’s
recent successful cyberattacks against sophisticated targets like the New York
Times, unidentified cyberwarriors manage to mess up ATC in CONUS, grounding all
flights. Unclear is whether
a rogue group is behind the attack, or state actors. Some indicators seem to point to China or North Korea -- or
even Russia -- as the culprit, taking this opportunity to test their offensive malware
at this propitious time, knowing that the U.S. will be quick to blame Syria or
Iran.
US response: Hmm … The matter requires further
research. Forming a committee …
Unforseen Development 7: Liechtenstein, emboldened by the West’s paralysis in
the face of chaos, invades Andorra.
US response: … . Ahh…. Have to get back to you on
that.
Unforseen Development 8: In one of those freaks of military fortune, an American
cruise missile lands on the facility where President Assad and his entire high
command were meeting to strategize.
Decapitated, the regime instantly collapses. Rebel groups, spearheaded by the al-Qaeda-associated ANF and
ISIL, take over. After a
brief struggle (cf. AQIM vs. the Touareg rebels in Azawad), al-Qaeda seizes the
reins of power. It now controls
all of the late Assad’s vast stores of chemical weapons. They begin to survey the region
with a meditative eye …
US response: (TBD)

[Note to the reader. The above is SATIRE; no actual classified material was compromised while dreaming
it up. Repeat: SATIRE. Though also, unfortunately, the literal truth.]
[Update, a few minutes later] Based on his speech, the President would appear to have thought ahead several ply. So the above scenarios are now
directed to our solons in Congress.
Remember -- You can’t vote just for the nose of the camel; you’ll
be embracing the whole beast.

“You Broke it, You Bought it.”
When I was but a boy -- when Ike was in office, and a young
fellow with the improbable name of “Elvis” was causing heads and hips to shake
-- some stores sported signs saying
You Broke it, You
Bought it.
Ever-mindful of the awful sanctions that the stern adult
world could impose, I moved gingerly among the aisles, lest inadvertently I
should upset some costly item beyond my means -- my means at the time
consisting entirely in my allowance of a nickel a week, quickly spent.
It is a lesson worth remembering.
~
America has been fortunate, in having had very little indeed
to do with Syria, throughout its history.
France was involved for a time;
later (to a lesser extent) Britain; but no-one can blame us
for the mess that Syrians have made for themselves.
All that will change, the instant the first Tomahawk lands
near Damascus: we will be blamed
for every ill that Syrians have suffered since the age of the Hyksos. Count on it.
Just sayin’.

Meanwhile across the pond:
The Joint Intelligence
Committee produced the dossier on Saddam Hussein’s supposed WMD arsenal, used
by Tony Blair’s government to justify joining George Bush’s invasion of Iraq; a
deeply flawed document which became a byword for manipulation and fabrication,
even of intelligence to suit a political agenda.
The report the JIC presented
today into another tranche of WMDs, this time belonging to Syria’s Bashar
al-Assad, was written in much more measured tones, acknowledging that much of
it was from open source material – videos, testimonies of patients and medics –
and not really revealing anything significantly secret.
In the process it failed to
make a case for war.

La mise en scène
Remember Baghdad Bob, or whatever he was called -- Saddam’s
spokesman back in 2003: Who, as
our forces closed in -- smoke visible on the horizon, and rumors of war in the
rear -- still giddily chattering to the cameras that all was well, the U.S. Army
was nowhere near? It made a
kind of sense: His manner
seemed to say, “I have to say these things because otherwise Saddam will have my balls for breakfast;
but I’m saying them in a silly way, so that the victorious occupation
forces won’t treat me like a hardliner, but maybe will allow me to become the
host of a game show."
Understood. But
why, in the name of all that’s nameable, has the State Department, in these
parlous times, chosen a spokeswoman who looks and sounds like an ex-cheerleader
(maybe not so ex-, in fact), bubble-headed and unbelievable? Tonight, defending the Administration’s
apparent intention of rolling forward with violent intervention without waiting
for the U.N. report (though there is no threat to the homeland, immediate or
otherwise) nor for a sorting-out of just who gassed whom when and why, she sounded like a Barbie doll, or even
a Betsy-Wetsy.
Gare le Gröfaz !
We earlier remarked upon that gross ungainly coinage, the widerliches
Unwort “Gröfaz”. It sounds like something coined by Christian Morgenstern, to frighten the children
(Benimm dich doch, sonst fängt dich der Gröfaz!)
:
Yet the word’s unsung in song or story.
Herewith we remedy
this, after the manner of
Morgenstern:
Der Gröfaz ist ein gräßlich Ding,
dem Greif an Greuel nicht minder.
Er grübelt grimm im Grabenring,
und grunzelt gen die Kinder.

Guidelines for interpreting mystery dramas, in movies, radio, or television
* The slutty girl is the murderess.
* Importance of the corpus
delicti: If the body is
missing, the alleged victim is alive, either kidnapped, or participating in
some scam. Alternately (a minority
plot, that of Chasing the Dime), it is being kept in cold storage, for
safekeeping, so as to frame the innocent protagonsit.
* The arrogant
or nasty guy -- though an asshole -- is probably not the Mole.
But a character who makes your skin crawl, for reasons you can’t quite
put your finger on … watch out.
* Whatever just happened, has roots in something that
happened long, long ago …
