#1 Foggy Bottom had no problem at all slow-rolling court orders to turn over Clinton documents. Strange, very strange.

#2 Below from Bangkok Billy posted yesterday to "Travel Ban hurts SOF" article:

#6 Hate to break the news to you Devil Dog but our FID missions in IRQ and AFG have been total failures. 100's of SF lives and 100's of millions of dollars - failure. IRQ is lost and AFG is Vietnam in late 71 early 72 - just waiting for the Easter Offensive. We f'd up both places and we just don't have the sense or balls to own up it.

I absolutely and emphatically agree. My point was, the FID failure came looooong before DJT. I probably should have referred to it (AFG FID effort) as a cock-up. No 'Devil Dog' here, by the way.
