#2 So his plan is to lie more.

And form focus groups in the hope to be able to find some common ground...

#3 "Don't worry I've got everything under control..."

or

"I've directed my Secretary of Defense to throw himself under the bus and take the blame..."

#4 Legacy(s).

In the worst-case, CAN A OWG-NWO MARXIST-COMMIE-GLOBALIST AMERIKA UNDER OWG + NAU + RELATED SUCCESSFULLY CONTROL THE GLOBAL ISLAMIST-JIAHDIST NUCLEAR CALIPHATE???

Similarly, IS A SOLE SUPERPOWER USA STILL A SUPERPOWER IFF IT BOTH UNILATERALLY PULLS OUT OF EAST ASIA + GIVES UP 1/2 OF THE PACIFIC TO MILPOL OR GEOPOL RIVALS + WANNABES, + ALSO UNILATERALLY PULLS OUT OF EUROPE, ETC. + GIVES UP 1/2 OF THE ATLANTIC TO SAME.

The Guam Locals I've talked with, to include University Professors, say "NO".

What sayeths the Burg, Net, + Amerika!

#10 the Joint Staff has drafted its own messaging document.

It is phrasing like this that disgusts and therefore turns off any normal productive person. SAHMs, plumbers, auto-repair people, etc. KNOW what this means and recognize it for the pseudo-intelligent babble that it is.

People who seriously use this type of language are automatically discounted as worthless.

#11 First step in preparing the preliminary draft: find all "conservative" and replace with "Islam" and find all "republican" and replace with "ISIL"

#14 New narrative: "We win. They lose."

Hey, it worked before. Or we could go with an update of the Halsey Narrative: "When we're through with them, the Japanese language will be spoken only in Hell." (Which, fortunately for all, did not entirely work.)

#15 The spin-machine started up before the holidays. ABC News, The Washington Post, AyPee, Rooters, Slate, etc. have all been slathering on articles and opinion pieces about how the President has been unfairly treated and how he's being magnanimous about it:

"President Obama sees his current poor ratings in polls as stemming from a failure to communicate. Aides say that he plans to spend more time next year explaining his policies and describing what he has been doing both to defeat ISIS abroad and to stop acts of terrorism at home."

Hence the "new" narrative.

#16 You'll probably find that the authors will shortly "retire".

#17 I think the new narrative will be Hansel and Gretel. The Three Billy Goats Gruff is another possibility.
