Traveling in secret from point to point, confronting puzzles and small military forces.
Standing before an audience of hundreds, I give the word that we are to keep moving towards our goals. Then, while I mull over my next words, an aide hops in and begins discussing some of the details. One of the more militarily focused advisors winks at me, and begins speaking after the aide, announcing that there will be a break of several hours before the official party.
We will be gone before the sunset, regardless of what events are being planned.
I get the distinct impression that I am a religious as well as martial leader, but I do not believe I am ready to face the majority of our enemies.
I wake to a radio discussion of the current state of Iraq, trying to forge itself from the vaguely rebuilt rubble..
