The real story as to why it took so long to shoot down the Chinese balloon was not the normal chaos of the Biden Administration but its incompetence and wokeness.
Lardass Austin, SOD and Gen Missy Milley, CJCOS were caught in a trap from the beginning of the incident. If anything went wrong, there could be responsibility and blame assigned. If everything went right, then victory could be assumed by right of their positions. So what was needed was a front person to take the fall if everything went wrong.
Putting their brain cells into overdrive, they decided to pick Admiral Rachel Levine to lead the Chinese Balloon shoot down task force. They ran into a glitch right off the bat because they couldn't locate the Admiral. They called the SOT Buttguy but the Admiral wasn't there but she said that the Admiral might be at Sam Brinton's annual "Dog and Pony Show" (wink, wink..). He was and was ordered to report to Norfolk.
By the time Admiral Rachael got her combat net stockings and heels on and reported to Norfolk, the Chinese Balloon was just crossing into the Atlantic Ocean. Taking command, Admiral Rachael heroically ordered the balloon shot down. Admiral Rachel has been nominated for the Meritorious Service Award with pearl necklace device.

Heh heh. Satire is best from Texas.
Interesting euphemism for a string of beads with but one purpose. lol
Satire this isn't. This is EXACTLY how bureaucrats think!!!!
Will the pilot paint a hot-air balloon on his canopy.. like kills in World War I & II?
Satire aside…
What is important to know is WHAT EQUIPMENTS are in that balloon. Have we even tried to retrieve them? Or are they now under the deep blue sea, to be abandoned and forgotten.
Or have the Chicoms gotten to the wreckage before we did? If so, that’s gross incompetence on our part.
“What is important to know is WHAT EQUIPMENTS are in that balloon. “
No doubt the deal between Xi and PINO was that everything would be destroyed. So, I’m guessing... smithereens.
Probably filled with bat dookie
