I Think it's Time The Whole Thing Went Away

A Word on Masonic Suicides:

“To Our Brave, Wonderful and Worshipful Master, Who Chose Death Rather Than Dishonour His Friends and Workmates.”

President Not-George H. W. Bush :

Shut The Door.

I promised the American People I'd do something about the drug problem.

National Security Advisor Not- Lt. Col, (USMC) Robert Carl “Bud” McFarlane : 

You are.

You support the Colombians' efforts against the cartels...

President Not-George H. W. Bush :

And accomplish nothing. 

Do these drug dealers think we're powerless?

That they can keep doing this kind of thing, and there's no response ever?

National Security Advisor 
Not- Lt. Col, (USMC) Robert Carl “Bud” McFarlane : 

Are you suggesting a Course of Action, sir?

President Not-George H. W. Bush :

The Course of Action I'd Suggest is

a Course of Action I can't suggest.

National Security Advisor Not- Lt. Col, (USMC) Robert Carl “Bud” McFarlane : 

I'm... not sure where that leaves us.

President Not-George H. W. Bush :

These drug cartels represent a 

Clear and Present Danger to The National Security of The United States.

National Security Advisor 
Not- Lt. Col, (USMC) Robert Carl “Bud” McFarlane :

The situation in East Timor seems to have stabilised during the day.

President Not-George H. W. Bush :

Good.

Is that it?

National Security Advisor 
Not- Lt. Col, (USMC) Robert Carl “Bud” McFarlane :

Except for The Other Thing.

We've accomplished a lot.

We're seeing results.

Drug shipments are down.

Price on the street is rising.

The perception is the administration is doing something right.

President Not-George H. W. Bush :

What's the bad news?

National Security Advisor 
Not- Lt. Col, (USMC) Robert Carl “Bud” McFarlane :

I'm worried about the car bomb coming so soon after Jacobs's assassination.

Just the kind of thing reporters live for.

They'd love to make a connection.

President Not-George H. W. Bush :

And you think they will?

National Security Advisor 
Not- Lt. Col, (USMC) Robert Carl “Bud” McFarlane :

I think it's time the whole thing went away.

President Not-George H. W. Bush :

If that's what you think.

National Security Advisor 

Not- Lt. Col, (USMC) Robert Carl “Bud” McFarlane :

I think so.

President Not-George H. W. Bush :

Then, It Should Go Away.

It Never Happened.
