8/28/13: I held a consultation in Patient's private quarters, at the request of Valerie Jarrett who is very vigilant in keeping patient under wraps. Ativan prescribed yesterday seems to have calmed him, but he is still obsessed with the machinations of Vladimir Putin. He is convinced that Putin is luring him into a trap by tempting the US to launch a "surgical strike" against Syria to take out key command centers. Putin has already shown himself to be more than a match for Patient. I suspect that a US " surgical strike" will be about as surgical as hacking off an elephant's head with a chainsaw. ---Dictated By Dr. S.H.Rink
