Hoplite is Under Secretary for Political Affairs? Who knew? I don't think that position pays enough frankly, so I doubt Hoplite is in that position. Just my speculation.
there is so much disinformation from so many sides, it's almost mindboggling. The problem arises, for anyone; that when ones "ego" or "reputation" is challenged, a person may grab on too tightly for "personal" reasons, instead of being open minded that he or she just might not have all the facts, and be willing to concede to a point or spawn an epiphany; not to be confused with a medical condition requiring surgery.....:))) Okay, I'll get serious here.....
I love your accent.....I can tell it from your writing.
Those in the government are caught up in a bind. You step out of line in this official story, and you are history in a New York minute. So, you just ignore the truth and stick with the fabricated version, or the exaggerated version to make life easier. "I couldn't make a difference, so why buck the system"......"It pays the bills"...etc.....
We are in a serious bind.........I'm hoping that someone like Hoplite can show me what my findings are just rantings.....but, the names, events, strategies, organizations are all linked in most all of the operations...and decisions made in the past all are starting to make sense.
Damn straight. Undersecretary this or Assistant that just aren't in the cards anymore, as Hoplite continues keep his plate clear for bigger things.
Thanks to Mr. Peabody for use of the WABAC machine.
Hoppy's position is on his knees before the Muhammedans, swallowing it all like the good Dhimmi that he is.
