The head of Petraeus
April 12th, 2008
Great take on this photo of Gen. Petraeus, before the House Armed Services Committee, via BagNewsNotes.com:
[T]he General [represents] the serpentine head of of a military institution which has been cut off but for the one spokesman, who is marginalized and dislocated. Checking out the hands under the table, the school boy quiescence demonstrates that assessment has been silenced. Also noted was the fact that Petraeus’s mug is actually blocking a symbol of one of the service branches on the wall — more evidence that Petraeus has become a branch unto himself.
