re: "This Is Why We Have Meetings...."

Deebow at Blackfive ("the paratrooper of love") explains why one should avoid working with amateurs.

Money quote(s):

"It is my belief that if this "bong hit diplomacy" continues (one of my favorite Uncle Jimbo-isms BTW), we are in for at least a generation of rebuilding our character and relationships around the world, because this President can't seem to be able to order an omelet without having to first check the poll numbers (would mushrooms be offended if ham and onions were not included?), consult what MSNBC thinks about eggs (too much cholesterol--have some granola instead), ask the UN if it violates the eggs rights, get the buy in of our allies to ensure the omelet has the right amount of calories (can't have a "heavy" package omelet--allies might not like it), minimize collateral damage to chicken farms and on and on....

I had an old platoon sergeant who I watched tell my new platoon leader during an unguarded moment while training "Sir, you need to lead, follow or get the hell out of the way." Exactly.... "

re: "Leader of Free World recognizes Libyan transitional govt."

Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive ("the paratrooper of love") once again expresses a delightful phrase:

"the world's foremost practitioner of bong hit diplomacy."

re: "Killing Pirates and the Law of the Sea...."

Deebow at Blackfive ("the paratrooper of love") has an idea for dealing with the Somali pirates.

Presenting, the Deebow Accord:

"Hunt down and kill the pirates immediately in your sights and
operating in your corner of the ocean, sink and burn their boats, repeatedly machine gun the surviving pirates, leave what is left to the sharks, repatriate their loot, burn their hideouts and leave all of this damage and destruction as a warning to others."

Additional quote(s):

"I get that this administration and, as Uncle J pointed out, their bong hit diplomacy continues unabated"
