JSOU? Jesu!

Might we not coin a word ‘Goebbelsology’ (rhymes with ‘Kremlinology’ and ‘Crawfordology’) to describe the dispassionate and tertiary-educationalist investigation of political and moral pond scum like the following?

[I]nformation strategists can consider clandestinely recruiting or hiring prominent bloggers or other persons of prominence already within the target nation, group, or community to pass the U.S. message. In this way, the U.S. can overleap the entrenched inequalities [0] and make use of preexisting intellectual and social capital. Sometimes numbers can be effective; hiring a block of bloggers to verbally attack a specific person or promote a specific message may be worth considering. On the other hand, such operations can have a blowback effect, as witnessed by the public reaction following revelations that the U.S. military had paid journalists to publish stories in the Iraqi press under their own names. People do not like to be deceived, and the price of being exposed is lost credibility and trust. An alternative strategy is to “make” a blog and blogger. The process of boosting the blog to a position of influence could take some time, however, and depending on the person running the blog, may impose a significant educational burden, in terms of cultural and linguistic training before the blog could be put online to any useful effect. Still, there are people in the military today who like to blog. In some cases, their talents might be redirected toward operating blogs as part of an information campaign. If a military blog offers valuable information that is not available from other sources, it could rise in rank fairly rapidly.

JSOU -- "Joint Special Operations University" -- clearly resembles WNC-RL, Wombschool Normal College at Rio Limbaugh, far more than it resembles the Princeton of Jonathan Edwards and of Big Management Party Neocomrade Dr. Gen. D. Petraeus.

It would not hurt to strangle this vile brat in its cradle all the same, though, so as to ensure that the future of the Pre-Decisional Future Concept Briefin’ concept is as brief as possible. "King Herod, call thine office!"

While we wait for the exterminators and garbage collectors to do their duty, Mr. Bones, notice how deeply unimaginative and Rio-Limbaugh-worthy junior tank-thinkers J. Kinniburg and D. Denning are. The ninth-rate neocomrades’ first notion is whatever seems to look like it is workin’ best for their crew at the moment, at present [05/22/2008 05:45AM] that nifty Bribe-a-Tribe™ scheme in Peaceful Freedumbia. And then their second notion comes straight from Hollywood: "Hey, guys, how about let's ‘make’ ourselves a Tokyo Rose the same way Don Corleone makes a ‘soldier’?" Yuck.

Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison

[0] That tiny scrap of et ab hoste doceri is cute, but it remains highly unlikely that neocomrades JK and DD are elegant spoofsters instead of plain vanilla GOP-AEI-DOD coalitional jerks.
