Wait. I don't think we want to wipe him out. Obviously we are dealing with someone with the apperent maturity of a ten year old. They have some big, nasty toys and a big case of spoiled brat syndrome. Anybody who has ever had the *joy* of dealing with spoiled brats will verify that they are easy to manipuilate once you find their buttons. I will lay odds that BB's buttons involve being in control. If we make BB think he is in control, yet manipulate him, we have a nice, strong army to defend ourselves with, and a big scapegoat/distraction if we need oen. I can think of a couple of monarchies that were ran in a similar fashion.
I say play with the brat, give it positive feedback when he does what he wants, and negative feedback (kaboom!) when he screws up. And get us control access of CPs. Then we can dump the kid, AI or not. Is there anyway we can transmit ST Voyager to Mars?
