Thus, the talking heads at the Pentagon today would say the moon was made of green cheese if that were the line that the White House wanted to tout. Not a single one of them would utter a peep about the wrong headedness of this decision, thus having them as guests on administration talk shows (we all know who they are)only prove this thesis. I'll bet a month's gross pay that if one were to ask the same intentional softball questions of a ''real'' intelligence or operations type from the interpretive or planning levels, and the interview subject officer didn't care that his future would be in ruins the instant he gave a truthful answer, the response would be totally different from that of those ''perfumed princes'' at the feet of the secretary of defense.
