Yeah and I don't see it. Like most successful politicians and especially successful Democrat politicians, I've little doubt he was a sociopath and fully capable of such a plan, but if so he was so miserably bad at it that it calls into question any cunning otherwise involved with the plan. If you were going to go for that kind of thing, it's so insanely obvious that you'd just shock and awe bomb military installations that I can't believe a charismatic sociopath like him wouldn't see it. He loved getting to trot out his "terror warrior" image, which he couldn't do when he was just bombing random civilians. If he'd been MOABbing the shit out of anything vaguely like a military installation in the region he'd have never had to stop bragging about it. Instead his campaign was so painfully sloppy that he and all of his supporters had to keep up the polite fiction that it just wasn't happening. Go blank-eyed and gaze into the distance whenever drones are brought up.
Nah he was stupid on a lot of shit but I don't see him being quite that stupid, I guess.
