#1 De-classified Transcript from NSA intercept: "Damn, now I gotta bunch of NSF's. !@#% Bush, I'm going to be real angry this time". (Voice inflection consistent with Team America movie impersonation).

#3 A hitch stalling the release of frozen North Korean money from an Asian bank has been resolved,

And another stall/hitch is already planned.
This will never end without serious breaking of NORK infrastructure.
Slap them upside of the head, HARD and say "ENOUGH STALLING", then, and only then, will these "Hitches" end

#4 The State Dept MUST be staffed with incompetents. That's the only possible answer.

(Bolton and Rice excepted)

BOLTON FOR HEAD OF STATE, (Rah, Rah, Rah,)

#6 I dunno, RJ. Rice was pretty good as National Security Advisor (I was going to put NSA, but that's ambiguous), but I've been very disappointed with her at State.

Powell was pretty decent in the Joint Chiefs, but the less said of his tenure at State, the better.

Do we know that Bolton wouldn't get coopted, too?

Of course, maybe that's the best anyone can do. Look at the past dozen or so. Schultz is the only exception, and I have doubts about him.
