I was once involved with training future State Department Officer. At the Army-Air Force Center For Low Intensity Conflict we conducted a two day role playing training event with our military members playing the part of a foreign Nation. The event was created by a training officer at State and the name of it was Al Jazzira. This was in late 1980’s long before anyone had heard the name before. It was scripted and had the foreign country asking for additional arms to fight an insurgency. The request was denied and then the next day the foreign officers had to deliver a communique that the U.S. requested landing rights for aircraft which were on their way to a conflict. Ha! Indigenous folks would show up at the consulate asking for visas with all their credentials and the students had to vet them. It was very balanced and realistic with the students saying they got a great deal of training but we only did it once. Senior leadership within State said this was not what they needed. Go figure.

worth repeating:

The Obama/Hillary-era State Dept books need forensic audits pronto. Here’s the tip of the iceberg:

<><> find the 6 billion tax dollars missing from the S/D’s contractor’s fund.

<><> Hillary and Obama both dipped into the State Dept’s Millenium Challenge Slush Fund-—

————Hillary gave 78 million Millenium tax dollars to her cronies Sid Blumenthal and ex-Amb Joe wilson (Valerie Plame’s hubby)-—

———Obama gave Michelle 100 million Millenium tax dollars to “teach Muslim girls” in Morocco (the millions to be “held” by the Obama Foundation).

<><> Huma got millions of tax dollars for her cousin, (AKA the Serial Swindler), that promptly “disappeared.”

<><> Clinton aide Cheryl Mills, a govt employee, had a tax-paid development going in Sub-Sahara Africa at the same time.

Some of the best experts I’ve worked with were incompetent for a variety of reasons. Results, not “expertise” is what matters.

Can these people show where their “expertise” has led to positive results in the last 2 decades? Does their “expertise” come from the USSR or 1970’s China or before the internet had spread around the world or ....

I’d guess they overvalue their potential contributions or knowledge of the world today.

Most State Department Officials are prostitutes who have sold their country out for favors from the nations they are stationed in.
Don’t let the door hit you on the butt.

The swamp needs draining indeed. This news from the State Department, and the New York Times’ grief over it, are good signs that the U.S. is on its way back on dry land.

Amen and a 'Good News' bump...

As the swamp is drained, the stuff being drained out complains.

The “expertise” this loser refers to used to be called “bull sh**”. WINNING!!! I hope all other such “experts” are soon fired, quit or are arrested.
