Keep it up CENTCOM analysts, and you'll be looking for a new job just like me.

#3 “ISIS is losing,” John Allen, the retired Marine general charged with coordinating the ISIS campaign, said in July.

Losing? Please have a look at Europe in the last couple of weeks with an eye toward 'second order effects' general Allen.

#4 The Left is totally dependent upon lying to itself as well as to the rubes. Otherwise it would have to face its failures well before the collapse of their systems around them. (insert blaming counter revolutionary saboteurs here)

Sage comment of the day.

#6 In general I'm fine with a white lie or two because sometimes secrets have to be kept to get things done. This applies as long as the Congress is kept informed of the facts. Currently our Congress is filled with crapheads though so I'm reevaluating my position towards 100% transparency and prison time for those that lie to the people about foreign policy to get us into or out of wars.

#7 Leadership matters. Leaders appoint the sub-leaders and therefore are directly responsible for the failures of those sub-leaders. Bad sub-leaders get people killed. What are they teaching at West Point?

#8 Teaching? Why, whatever is in Chairman Champ's Red Book, of course!

#9 scent

It's been so deep you need waders. Up to your armpits.

Well, I guess Obean will have no choice but to change direction now . . . .

#10 Just remember when the shit hits the fan to save some ammo to deliver to these fuckwhits pointy end first.

#11 the CentCom analysts could be in deep trouble. Daily Beast probably does not have anonymous drop box unlike Wikileaks had.

They talked on condition of "anonymity" - they can be tracked down as Edward Snowden revealed by their metadata and communications

so they will be silenced.

you won't even get to know

they may not just lose their jobs they may lose much more
