The two nuclear bombs dropped on Japan were known as "Little Boy" and "Fat Man." The world today has two new nuclear bombs.
One is named "Fat Bill." The other is named "Little Hillary."
The "Bill Clinton" bomb is the one getting the most headlines as North Korea continues testing its nuclear weapons. The Communist dictatorship is on its fifth test already and achieved an explosion almost at the level of "Little Boy" which was dropped on Hiroshima.
North Korea has let it be known that this test has allowed it to produce standardized nuclear warheads "able to be mounted on strategic ballistic rockets" so that it can "produce at will and as many as it wants a variety of smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear warheads of higher strike power."
Kim doesn’t just want a nuke. He wants a lot of nukes. And at the rate he’s going, he will have them.
And the man to thank for all that is Bill Clinton.
In the fall of ’94, Clinton told the American people that his deal with North Korea would help bring "an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the Korean Peninsula.
...Bill Clinton sold America the same bill of goods on North Korea that Obama did on Iran. North Korea would have its isolation eased and "our relationship" with it would develop.
He was right about that. Our relationship developed to the point of North Korea threatening us with the nuclear weapons that he promised us it wouldn't have. Bill’s relationship with North Korea developed to the point of a paid speaking gig that was turned down by the ethics office at the State Department.
That’s the first Clinton Bomb. It’s named "Fat Bill." North Korea has also supplied nuclear technology to Iran. And that’s the other Clinton Bomb.
It’s called "Little Hillary."
Hillary Clinton has been very eager to claim credit for the Iran Deal. Indeed her boss’ worthless deal with the nuclear terror state closely echoes her husband’s worthless deal with another nuclear terror state.
Even the rhetoric was the same. In Bill’s speech, he claimed that the deal with North Korea "does not rely on trust." In Obama’s speech, he insisted that, "this deal is not built on trust."
Except that it did and it does.
Iran got to collect its own samples and turn them over to the IAEA. That’s the definition of trust.
...For the Iran Deal to be credible, we have to trust that Iran doesn’t want a nuclear bomb.
Hillary initiated the pivot to let Iran continue enriching uranium. As her campaign adviser said, "She recognized the difficulty of reaching a solution with zero enrichment."
As with the rest of her politics, Hillary Clinton has held an infinite number of positions on Iran’s nuclear enrichment. But behind closed doors, this was her true position.
North Korea’s "Fat Bill" bomb and Iran’s "Little Hillary" bomb are interconnected. The two terror states, one red and the other green, one left-wing and the other Islamic, help each other.
Much as Bill helped North Korea and Hillary helped Iran.
The world faces the prospect of two terror states armed with nuclear weapons as the legacy for two politicians named Clinton who sold out their country and ushered in a new age of nuclear terror.
If a North Korean bomb is used in war, it will be Bill’s bomb. And if Iran uses nuclear weapons, it will be Hillary’s hellish explosion.
Stopping the two Clinton bombs may be the biggest national security challenge for a future president.
To be accurate, they shot at the Israeli jets, and missed.
[Observer] Syria shot two surface-to-air missiles at Israeli jets--and they shot at the Israeli jets not even over their own air space.
These were not errant missiles or spillover shots which is military parlance for mistakes. These missiles were calculated and intentionally targeted shots from an S-200 Russian missile system aimed at Israeli jets that were, quite frankly, targeting Syrian rocket launchers.
Rocket launchers that, quite frankly, had just -- accidentally or not -- launched rockets into Israel.
This is a major change in Syrian engagement. It could signal an escalation of tensions between Israel and Syria, especially because three mortars were shot from Syria into Israel later that day.

Large widespread wars often begin with single incidents, e.g. assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Gulf of Tonkin, etc.

Israel has a lot of folks who speak Russian. If Russia cares about these folks like they care about the folks who speak Russian in Crimea, Syria may have a problem.

I suspect Putin's people are speaking roughly with Syrian generals about the wisdom of expanding a war they are not clearly winning.
If you were to go to war with Israel i would think the opening shot would best be some kind of raid on Israeli air fields to give your own airforce some kind of chance. A smart fella would find a way to get Palestinians to stage that raid from the ground so if/when they fail it doesn't track back.
[Free Beacon] CIA Director John Brennan said Wednesday it was likely that hackers would continue to target political computer systems in the weeks leading up to the November presidential election.
Brennan discussed the cyber attacks on the Democratic National Committee and state election systems during an interview with CBS News, saying that he "wouldn’t be surprised" if more breached information was leaked.
"I think there are capabilities that a number of our adversaries have‐and again, I’m not just talking about nation states or other countries‐I’m talking about individuals who may want to demonstrate that they’re able to hack into systems and release things for whatever their agenda might be, whether it be a political agenda or one that is just trying to undermine our system of democracy here," Brennan said.
Intelligence officials suspect that Russian government hackers were behind a series of cyber attacks targeting Democratic organization and staff. While Brennan refused to specially blame the Kremlin for the breaches, he pointed to Russia’s known history of breaking into U.S. political websites.
President Obama warned in July that it was possible Russian hackers would attempt to sway the U.S. election. Hillary Clinton’s campaign has maintained that the Kremlin was behind the DNC attacks in an attempt to help Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

... STATEMENT: "I wouldn't be surprised at more leaks."
TRANSLATION: "You people wouldn't believe the shiat coming down the pike - or at least, you wouldn't if the media would cover it, and we've made it very clear to these people what will happen if so much as one cub reporter writes just one word about it."

[WAPO] Army Gen. Raymond "Tony" Thomas, head of U.S. Special Operations Command, rarely talks specifics about the troops under his command. Direct action raids in Iraq, rescue missions in Afghanistan, Special Operations forces deployed in places like Syria, Somalia and Yemen are all -- if even acknowledged -- described in broad platitudes.
But when asked about the propensity of some of his elite forces to write books, star in movies and help advise on the production of certain video games, Thomas is outspoken -- and angry.
"It is a phenomenon that is anathema to me. It runs counter to everything that any of us who ever entered special operations know [is] the right way to do business," Thomas said during a conference hosted by the Institute for the Study of War in Washington on Wednesday. "It baffles me that people don’t hold true to that standard."
"We won’t tolerate it," he added.
Thomas's remarks come on the heels of a $6.6 million settlement in August between Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette and the U.S. government. Bissonnette, who wrote a best-selling book titled "No Easy Day" about his role with SEAL Team Six during the 2011 raid that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, will have to forfeit all of his profits and royalties after violating a nondisclosure agreement and failing to get his book cleared by the Pentagon.

And Flag Officers are Sailors. Comparable Soldiers and Flyers are Generals, although they also have flags but are not referenced as Flag Officers. A Flag Officer is a starred Sailor.

You're correct Pappy, he wasn't SF, but he controlled the pre-SF and pre-CIA OSS in the ETO.
Flag officers in the Army are O7 and above and are issued their flag upon promotion. All general officers are issued the appropriate rank flag and a corresponding National Color. These flags become the general's personal property and are authorized for retention by the individual upon promotion to the next higher grade or retirement from active duty. The are controlled and issued by the Clothing and Heraldry PSID.
In the United States Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, the term "flag officer" generally is applied to all general officers authorized to fly their own command flags—i.e., brigadier general, or pay grade O-7, and above. - wiki
