Over the Atlantic
The C-17 took the great circle route over Israel and Europe, passing just south of the southern white tip of oxymoronically named Greenland. Crew and passengers moved to the starboard side of the jet to view a uniform sheet of white ice and snow jutting to the south in a âV,â like a paper snow cone cup. Blue sky above, blue ocean below, white acute triangle in the middle, stretching to the horizon, an inverse vanishing point. No icebergs anywhere.
The U.S. Air Force Globemaster aircrew were blissfully unaware of the mission into Syria, but the somber mood of the Agency personnel as they emplaned had warned them to go about their business of aviating, navigating, and communicating. The headwinds picked up significantly as the coastline of Nova Scotia came into view.
Hunter, Lynche and Nazy took in the sights from the cockpit. When Hunter decided to leave the crew alone to do their business, Lynche and Nazy followed. Hunter nibbled on the remains of cold pizza, looked at Lynche, and asked, âAre we going to have a new president?â Nazy frowned, curious about where Duncanâs mind had wandered.
Lynche said, âI donât think it looks good for President Hernandez. The media and the Democrats are killing him on every issue. Heâs down in the pollsâdouble digits; thatâs not where you want to be on Election Day. Sheâll be the next president.â
Hunter said, âI think âdumbassâ has morphed into a species. Do you think an op like thisâ¦ah, would it make a difference? Help him?â
Lynche had been in Washington for years. He knew the pulse of the city, Virginia, and Maryland. All run by Democrats. He said, âToo timely, too cute, too much of everything. Theyâd find a way to drag him through the mud for that too. Theyâd blame him for the SEALs getting captured and for the way they were freed, if Al-Jazeera has good video.â
Hunter smiled and asked, âWhat if it was leaked?â
Greg Lynche got very serious. As he thought about it, he shook his head. âI donât think so. No. Who do you have in mind?â
âEastwood.â
The name raised Lyncheâs eyebrows a foot and contorted his body and face. It was body language for Absolutely no way! Once he stopped twitching, like a whitetail buck in the last moments of its life after being hit by a truck, he said, âI donât think itâll make a difference. Too little, too late. And, I think if Al-Jazeera has video. theyâd get it to American or British networks just to muddy the waters.â
Nazy asked, âWhy is that?â
Lynche said, âThe media and the Democrats are screaming at the top of their lungs trying to convince Americans that Hernandez has been guilty of a conspiracy and complicit on everything from crusading against Muslims to colluding with the Russians. A tape of children being executed would cause an international and domestic, though faux, outrage.â
âThose Russiansâ¦.â Hunter added, âThe left completely ignores Tussyâs obvious crimes conducting espionage.
