The day it died:
Let us now return to Parshall’s observation that ”all military failures fall into three basic categories: failure to learn from the past, failure to anticipate what the future may bring, and failure to adapt to the immediate circumstances on the battlefield.” It’s possible that Obama did exactly that on the night of September 11, 2012. He didn’t see the double cross coming; he had no Plan B for Syria, for al-Qaeda, having bet the farm on Plan A and he covered failure up.
He went and committed all three categories of failure. ”Finally, at the apex of failure stand those rare events when all three basic failures occur simultaneously-an event known as catastrophic failure. In such an occurrence, the result is usually a disaster of such scope that recovery is impossible.”
And now he’s living with the consequences of having to pursue a strategic assumption he knows is wrong but does not dare denounce.
It’s going to look worse and worse as time goes on.
At Benghazi, 4 people died, including an Ambassador, the embassy was burned.
At Midway, 4 Carriers, 2 Cruisers, 250 ships and 3500 men died.
Midway was also the clear end of Japanese Offensive capacity.
I somehow have trouble seeing Benghazi as a big defeat for the US Government.
We’ve had ambassadors killed before. We’ve had embassies blown up before.
Benghazi was a reflection of bad policy, Stevens was trying to negotiate with the Al-Qaeda
and he got bit.

You’ve obviously confused us with people who care what you have trouble seeing.
If you keep howling about Benghazi for the next 5 months, you will probably see the GOP
lose the key senate races in 2014.
That should be amusing enough to listen to the Howling then

How can I keep “doing” something that I’ve never done, you imbecile? No one “howls” here except morons like you.
