The commanding general of the retreating forces
declares his satisfaction and pride in the military
performance of his troops representing the largest
army on the planet, the most meticulously trained
and technically equipped, proficient and capable
in conventional warfare. At the stroke of midnight
they are airborne, flight completed. No trumpets blare.
The president of the most powerful nation on Earth
declares his nation will no longer lead as the global
community's guiding light when the oppressed quail
under the boot of tyrants whose bellicose threats
reverberate within the world community on notice
of invasion, promising that no longer would his country
fear the attacks of barbarian terrorists. The leaders of
barbarian terrorists gloat in their good fortune inheriting
the advanced machinery of war graciously left behind
by their departing foes enabling them to focus on
tracking and executing those among them declared
apostates and traitors in their alliance with foreign
invaders. First the immediate reprisals destroying
homegrown opponents, later the strategic blueprint
for the agents of terror to infiltrate the halls of
Western power to set off an epochal cataclysm of
violent destruction. History repeats itself endlessly
in the fall of great empires outliving themselves.
