If it's a covert operation why are we talking about it?
Caught Chuck Todd this morning on Today in between making the coffee and feeding the cat and generally getting ready for work. Word on the street, CIA operatives on the ground in Libya getting a feel for the rebels with the whole aim of arming them the better to overthrow the Mad Dog. Congress would have fairly tight control with the funding and the whole thing affords the White House legal deniability. Now I can just picture Khadafy eating his palm dates in the morning with a cup of goat milk, a little couscous or tabbouleh on the side going over the early edition of the Ole Gray Lady. What's this a map with who doing what? how many U.S. G-men? they're talkin' smack with who? what kind of weapons, state of the art? turns on the Today show and gets filled in on the rest from Mr. Todd of what Obama's gonna do -- who what where when and how. Again why are we talking about it? why am I even blogging about it? They say the Italian media don't say shit, they talk about the Jersey Shore. Maybe there's a value in pop ephemera after all. Somebody please hit the Sheen Button!!!:)

Maybe it all depends upon what Is, Is
ReplyDeleteSounds like the NATO movers and shakers are trying to find a place that will take Muramar.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you say there was a scary place upriver there
somewhere?
Chuck Todd; saw him couple days back complaining that the escaped Egyptian cobra
ReplyDeletewith the fake twitter account was getting more
hits than Todd's news-twitter. heh
"Congress would have fairly tight control with the funding..."
ReplyDeleteROTFLMAO!
The CIA doesn't need congress for funding. They've got all the funding source they need in the fields of Afghanistan and in Mexico.
What's more, I believe it was Reuters that reported yesterday that Gaddafi's crew was meeting with top British intelligencia to "broker a deal".
ReplyDeleteWhat a racket....
Rumor has it BB that Uganda will take him and why not? Khadafy let that old cannibal Idi Amin live in Libya for years after his glory days were over. Dunno what they had on the menu over there:)
ReplyDeleteThey caught the cobra BB. Best line came from Jimmy Kimmel, they found the snake in Lindsay Lohan's purse.
