He'll be riding a desk, getting bullshit reports about progress being made from his lower downs and feeding those bullshit reports to the higher ups. Meanwhile nothing in Afghanistan has changed and nothing is going to change.

"Progress being made by my lower downs" is now my new term for taking a shit.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Roughly equivalent to saying "Congratulations, Lieutenant.  You are now in command of the Titanic!"

In my own career, being entrusted with righting a failing operation is a compliment to the newly-charged leader.

Yes, it can also be a walk-the-plank moment. Do or die, brotha.

Haha Dude, I'm losing it.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

The main reason Afghanistan is screwed up is because the US wanted to maintain unrestricted access to opium.  When the USSR invaded the US saw it as a threat to its opium supply so it got the muslims to fight the commies.  Once the muslims realized that they should be in charge since they did the dying and cut off the opium the US got really pissed off and did what the commies had done.  It invaded the country and set up what it thought was a puppet government.  So today Afghanistan is covered with opium fields and tens of thousands of people are dead and wounded.  In the meantime the drug lords are getting superrich pushing heroin and a cure to the American people.

If the Taliban swore to allow unfettered access to the opium the blue bird of happiness would sing and peace would arrive in a nanosecond.  

American plots are responsible for tossing Afghanistan back into the 4th century.

American plots eh?  Seems like the afghanis were -awfully- helpful, to that end, then.
