In CAMPOS’ latest column, The ‘rules’ of the game, he uses the football as a metaphor for Iraq and concludes that it’s time to fire the coaching staff.
I’d rather use a different metaphor. You find out that you have cancer and your doctor starts you on a therapy that is far flung. It involves diet, drugs, and surgery. It’s now been 6 years since you’ve had any sign of the cancer recurring and some two bit columnist is now telling you it’s time to fire the doctor. He points out that the cost is expensive and he knows someone who will do it much cheaper. He thinks the doctor is all messed up by doing the surgery part and feels you would be just as well off if you had just drank herbal tea.
Do you think you would fire your doctor? Or do you think this columnist doesn’t know what he talking about?

I think the letterwriter has no idea what he is talking about

He claims you have inflammation of the kidney because that's what some people are saying, not mentioning the fact that kidney treatments are especially profitable for him. He reluctantly admits that the kidney was not inflamed after all but his treatment does inflame the kidney so he says he was right all along. Meanwhile, your pancreas cancer is getting worse.
Fire the damn fool before he kills you.

I don't think your pancreas cancer is getting worse, do you? PS. kidney treatments are not all that profitable.
