... and it only took them about 12 attempts at previous statements to finally arrive at the perfect statement. Sorry, but I have zero tolerance for Eric Holder or his pronouncements. Just grumpy I guess.
“Just grumpy I guess.”
No, you are being prudent and very smart.

No, you are not grumpy at all. You are correct.
Dear Obama Admistration,
For next time, practice these two steps:
1. "We will neither confirm or deny any details about the operation."
2. Then STFU.
Doing the right thing is never part of the equation. The Clinton-era Gang of Four were unanimous in their dismissal of virtaully all courses of action w/respect to Nork sabre-rattling. The trumping reason cited in all cases: "how will it make us look?" Instead the chosen solution was appeasement through economic largess.
There's no doubt the present administration is squirming under the fierce heat of reality. Ideaology vaporizes under the intense brilliance of either practicality or pragmatism. That is a truism for both the left and the right.
I'm with you - as I belive the greater majority of Freepers to be - with regards to the 'grumpy' disposition. Allow me to be so bold as to profer the causa: we've become a jaded and cynical lot. With respect to the former, the duration of the slog we've endured to date (since sometime during X41's term), the latter entirely predicated on skepticism of the motives of ALL leadership over the previous two decades.
How many times will the Charlie Browns of this country allow Lucy to convince us to run up and kick the ball?
