They are wasting more money on this madness than any other war in US history.

Not quite as blatant as the Iraq goalpost-moving, but still…..

Impeachment would be nice, but it’s probably too late for that process (but what do I know? I’ll be happy to be corrected.). It’s all about stopping the unjustified rush to bomb, bomb, bomb until (and if) we can get some sane leadership.

That’s one of the reason I became involved in computers in 1970, setting up a database to replace some the card systems and to maintain continuity when analysts were transfered. People think all you need it one well-placed spy and you know everything. They need to know that intel isn’t and has never been that sloppy. There were all sorts if things that I “knew” were true, that never made the cut because there was no confirmation, but I got a few points confirming other people’s work.

The path goes back to Darth. He has been playing the system since Vietnam.

Good round up of the pertinent information. People that haven’t been involved in the intelligence world need to be educated on the ways it is presented to the upper echelons and how important consensus is between sources before you can make intelligent decisions. Most people don’t realize that there are dozens and dozens of sources for small bits of information that has to be rationalized and contrasted before you can really assess the overall picture. Back before PC’s and internet the simple little 3×5 card was the major way we kept track of the little bits of info gathered from various sources. Sooner or later the stack of 3×5 cards on a certain subject reached critical mass and you could begin to have confidence that you were putting together a clear picture. Ahh the good old days! How much easier it must be today with hypertext and the internet.
