#1 My simple advice would be to sit still for a moment and try and entertain the possibility in their great tactical minds, that maybe trusting moslems to fight moslems, provide right intel on moslems, do anything good with your money is a bad idea. And most importantly, if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself. But who's listening...

Sun Tzu! Waste of time!
Pashto, Urdu, Dari... heh!
Learning ghoul yammer?

We'd rather just mime,
'buc-ket', 'wat-ter'...
and at them snootily stammer.

God forbid that we be rid
of these ~~dubious~~ helpful Moors
reporting in their pajammers.

#3 No one in our gov't was held accountable after 9-11. Nothing will come of this either.

#4 can't blame experts entirely

the whole cultural momentum has been to underestimate the awfulness in Islam and the awfulness in Afghanistani culture
