#1 You know that sneaking suspicion you had that it was amateur hour at the state department?

Well.... it ain't so sneaking anymore.

#2 I wonder if she gave the stranded Americans at Benghazi the same treatment.

#3 Her comments aside, the fact Ivan scooped up the call and leaked it is troubling. I get the sense it was cell phone which would make things a bit easier. If it was a secure call - time for a wholesale re-key.

Mr. B - ref you comment about video a few days ago, are you talking about the B-dad rooftop escapade?

#4 Lost my train of thought Billy, but I do remember a "rooftop escapade at the USEMBASSY Kuwait City. No! NO! NO! Colonel, Don't blow the doors....we've got the keys INBOUND..... BOOM! KABLOWWI!

Oooops too late. Video taped, fast roping goat ropers is just too sexy. ;-)

#5 Ahh yea, that was the Hildebeast at the urinal photo. I thought someone might have sent that down to lads at K'town for obvious utilization.

#6 You said something about DS types needing to stop leaking video tapes. It was few days ago.

You may recall the nomination of Brett (Brent?) McGurk to be the US Amb in Iraq. Guy had series of zipper malfunctions including a zesty session on the rooftop of the old embassy in B-dad. He remained mostly clothed and standing during the encounter. Said episode was caught on tape and supposedly leaked just after his nomination.

#7 No, wasn't read-on to that one. But I've sat next to enough of the 'pink bowtie' crowd in the State Department cafeteria to NOT doubt it.
