Re: Subject: USA
I guess eveyone missed the line where I said It was Not G W's job to control the police force,its not his job.
however the above situation with the painting almost actually happened.
the capt noticed some painting flaws in a common area "owened" by CO division.
I was the CO duty petty officer that night.
master chief called me up and said petty officer idiot make it happen by muster tomorrow.
I tasked a couple FC SR strikers with the painting job. when I went back at 1800 still no paint was being applied.
I sent both to master chief and painted the stanchions myself.
had I not there would have been a very good chance the first conversation my master chief would have had the next morning would have been with the capt, the second conversation master chief would have had I would be in on it and mostly the focus of it.
both the seaman recuit strikers got transfered to deck division the next day.
thats how authority and responsibility work.
G W's responsibilty is to set the task,goals and objectives.
the authority to accomplish said goals,tasks and objectives is delegated by the OFFICE of the president.
if the persons delegated to accomplish such goals and tasks fail they need to be replaced by persons that CAN and WILL accomplish them.
but either way the OFFICE of the presidency is responsible for the achievements and failures of the delegates.
thats why its called a chain of command and sewage actually does flow both ways.
so its not the OFFICE of the presidents fault anything occurs, its the ultimate responsibility everything occurs.
its not like the president can directly appoint folks in local govts, he can appoint folks that can influnce and change laws and policies.
DC is really no worse than any of the US major cities.
all of them are nasty.
sailors are very big targets in Chicago and get mugged all the time just outside of NTC's gate 4.
when I spent a year at NTC Great Lakes there were certain bars and areas that the CO of NTC great lakes had declared offlimits to sailors, same at Norfolk Naval station norfolk VA.
so the 9/11 thing happened on G W's watch. its his responsibility. aint no getting around that FACT.
the response to it was and is G W's responsibility, no getting around that FACT.
what I dont understand is why the same cabinet members for all departments are still employed by the US govt?
all seem to have failed to accomplish the goals set out by the office of the president.
G W went into this Iraq war with a lot of advice from a lot of proffesionals and friends.
a long time friend that had been made sec def advised G W that the war fought his way would last about 6 weeks to 3 months tops and gas would be 1 dollar a gallon when it was done and all would be paid with Iraqi oil.
look it up, thats pretty much a condensed quote.
at the end of the 3 months the friend should have been sacked.
the advice was proven bad.
its just how life is.
loyalty is a very admirable trait. it has no place in the office of the president.
so no its not G W's fault, ultimatly its his responsibility.
you too
