| Pentagon Official: Situation in Iraq Is 'So F**ked' |
| 2014-07-04 |
| "Joint Chiefs Chairman [Martin] Dempsey is an asshat yes man," he continued. "We have congressional authority to use force for the Iraq War, as it never expired, but people are putting targeting packets through unnecessary bureaucracy to slow events to the point that "-- they hope "-- the situation is overcome by events. Bad call. So fucked. Reads like another chapter in [Robert] Gates's book." Can't really blame Dempsey. He thought the job interview was for an Irish Tenor version of The Village People. |

| #7 Borgboy, I think it's "All the king's horses and all the king's men, Couldn't put Humphrey together again." But I'm far from positive. |

| #4 But if Champ really is the smartest guy in the room, (a better speech writer, etc), then he's also a better targeting guy than anybody else. Must be. So how about, maybe, getting involved in doing something that involves doing something. |

| #2 It's time to look at facts on the ground, there is an olde French Poem that describes this situation exactal Un petit d'un petit S'étonne aux Halles Un petit d'un petit Ah! degrés te fallent Indolent qui ne sort cesse Indolent qui ne se mène Qu'importe un petit d'un petit Tout Gai de Reguennes. |

| #1 “Targeting packets for action are going through processes they don’t need to keep us from getting involved,” our source reiterated. “They should be simple, but are being sent to the White House because the lawyers there are notorious for wasting time and looking for an excuse to say ‘No.’” White House routing of certainly appears to have successfully delayed military action in Benghazi on 9/11. |
