"more" insane.

Care to guess when the Pentagon will announce that they've run out of ADA?

I'm just going to sit back and await the begging NATO for minesweepers in a few days.

They'll just move the date. Again.

Even more interesting is the triumphalism of the WH presser.

It's only Day 4. Desert Storm was winding down by now.

This ain't no Desert Storm.

Curried pork with basmati.

So, a day off.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

Amazing to see that some of the most godless people ever to live are running around telling their subordinates : "we're going to war to kick off the Second Coming."

Straits of Hormuz being closed?

Nailed it.

It would have been so interesting had Tom Clancy lived to see the events of the past week.

There comes a point in weapons design where you have to say "it can get no better."

See also, B-52, Colt .45, and the M2 Browning.

That’s obvious.

I know.

Agreed.

At least he admitted the lie.

Don't expect the same from the hive of scum and villainy.

And once again, we wonder: who's dumber?

The guy whose parents jammed two first names together for him when he was born?

Or the people who sent him to Washington?

The Powell Doctrine.

Abject failure on all counts.

That said, at least you aren't in Congress.

Take that as a win.

I can almost see the Centrum Silver and Geritol on his bedside table in that video.

I keep forgetting we're not in love anymore...well, actually, I keep forgetting a lot of things. It's a problem.

Make the best of Monday, folks.
