"To use an Earrrth example, this is just like Hitlerrr in 1933 getting himself declarrred Chancellorrr, and everrry student of militarrry historrry knows wherrre that led. Ketterrring's in bed with the Bajorrrans, the dominant and most likely corrrupt powerrrhouse in the Federrration, and he's alrrready surrrounded himself with his band of thugs that would, of courrrse, be put into positions of powerrr, like mine. After all, Special Operrrations in 1940's Gerrrmany was called the Waffen SS.
