With friends like us.... (UPDATED)


From the comments, B-Daddy advised Krauthammer to stick with the straight stuff and leave the shtick to Iowahawk. Yep...

Anyhoo, after receiving General McChrystal's request, I carefully reviewed and focus tested it with some of the top military strategist of DailyKos and HuffingtonPost. As an alternative, they suggested sending a special force of 200 diversity-trained surrender consultants. After several months of careful deliberation, polling, and strategic golfing, I told the General I would provide him a force of 30,000, which is fully 75% of a 110% commitment.

Now let's think about that. When you multiply it out, that's... let's see... that's almost an 83% total commitment to mission success! And son, back at Harvard Law that's what we called a "solid B." Not only that, I also pledged to provide you with all the healthy snacks and juice boxes you will need until the designated 5:30 pickup time. As an extra bonus to help you out, I secured a commitment of 10,000 additional special troops from our European allies. In fact, I think I see one of them in the back seat -- there in the blue bicycle helmet. What's your name son?

Pierre? That's... okay... okay, Pierre, please stop crying. Yes, I promised Mr. Sarkozy you'll be home soon.




(UPDATE #1): So how is the Taliban like George Washington? B-Daddy has the details, here.

Dean,
Thanks for the link. I didn't mean to extol Taliban virtues, obviously, I just wanted to make clear that we have over 200 years experience in insurgency operations, on both sides, and you'd think somebody would have LEARNED SOME LESSONS!
