The Fuss About MDA's New Logo


The Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency has just launched its new logo (above) and those to the right of the political divide already 'smell blood'.  They want the head of Obama for what they regard as part of the latter's grand agenda of 'appeasing the Islamic world'.  

As the newly-hatched conspiracy theory goes, the effort on the part of Obama to reduce missile defense capabilities is not just a leftist tendency, but part of a concerted effort to soothe the Muslims.

The episode clearly pitches the Right against the Left.  The Right, nose-bloodied by Obama two years ago, are originally inflamed by what they detected as an annoying resemblance between the logo and the Obama campaign logo.  

Now they see a greater cause to inflict serious blow to Obama.  

Meanwhile, the Leftists stick to the official stand that the logo is actually not new, that it has been endorsed as an insignia for MDA well before the 2008 elections, and that it is not intended to replace the old logo.

Bizarre still, some on the right, accuse Obama of imagining being, behaving as, or is indeed the 'Imam Mahdi', whoever the latter is supposed to be.
