code names
obama was smart alec. reagan was rawhide. osama was not geronimo. contrary to initial misinterpretation. geronimo was a code word meaning bin laden was killed or captured. i don't know what code name i would have given to him. maybe ole yeller. he used to be our ally. something happened to him while fighting for us. and he turned into a monster. and we shot him like a dog. so it mostly works. the difference is the boy still loved his dog-turned-monster. whereas we universally hated our man-turned-monster. and the dog didn't have a choice. the man did. and the dog-turned-monster was locked up in a cage and couldn't do any harm. the man wasn't. still though. the code name kinda conveys how i feel about his killing. equal parts relief that the monster is gone and unhappiness that the world got to a state where the trigger got pulled. net loss of sleep: zero.
