#3 I thought the joint chief of staff recommendation was to keep troops in Iraq? This would be an indication of not underestimating the enemy and not overestimating the Iraqis capability.

#7 Dr. Carson has also recently predicted that within a couple of years, a wave of civil unrest may grip our nation. He's obviously been reading the Burg, and clearly sees the consequences resulting from the inevitable termination of benefits and free stuff to the entitlement crowd.

#9 Obama is blaming the Intel. Problem is he didn't pay attention, and is wrong.

Let the CIA defensive leaks commence.
