Message: <blockquote data-quote="Storm Raven" data-source="post: 2474854" data-attributes="member: 307">Adama is bound and determined to go down in flames. He's tried before, purposely. The main difference in their perspective is that Roslin's objective is to find earth, while Adama's objective is to fight cylons. Adama's objective is, in the end, counterproductive to the survival of the fleet, since over the long run they can't win against the cylons.Any civil war that takes place was incited by Adama and Tigh, when they overturned the Articles of Confederation to put themselves in charge. Adama even exposed the true reason for his hissy fit that caused him to arrest the President - he doesn't like having his decisions second guessed. Tigh proved absoluty incapable of command, unable to decide for himself what to do, and using an autocratic hand to try to get his way, when it was obvious that was a bad idea. Telling people they have no voice in how their affairs are conducted is a bad idea, and Adama and Tigh went straight to that as their first option when faced with a political crisis.Except, of course, for Apollo, Dee, Gaeta, the prison guard, the soldiers who helped her escape, the pilot who helped Apollo get the raptor, the doctor, and the sentry she talked her way past. You know, a significant collection of soldiers who couldn't stomach sweeping aside the Articles of Colonization and imposing military rule.Plus there are the civilians who don't want to live under a military dictatorship, and refused to help Tigh use Galactica to impose one. I think Tigh and Adama are going to have to back down, and look bad in the process. They certainly seem to have no problem backing Roslin against Tigh and Adama.</blockquote>
