Obama Says U.S. Intelligence Underestimated Islamic State threat

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

drugs are not cheap across the board. however i hear heroin is dirt cheap nowadays (speaking of epidemics our government underestimates).

Where do you live? The only thing cheaper than weed is gasoline and lima beans.

You're a Pepsi man?

Well I never!

Ever since I was a kid, coke was too sweet for my palate.

Well, this explains much, except why he's trying to blame everyone else for his lack of 'intelligence':

REPORT: OBAMA HAS MISSED OVER HALF HIS SECOND-TERM DAILY INTEL BRIEFINGS

A new Government Accountability Institute (GAI) report reveals that President Barack Obama has attended only 42.1% of his daily intelligence briefings (known officially as the Presidential Daily Brief, or PDB) in the 2,079 days of his presidency through September 29, 2014.

The GAI report also included a breakdown of Obama’s PDB attendance record between terms; he attended 42.4% of his PDBs in his first term and 41.3% in his second…

This is not the first time questions have been raised about Obama’s lack of engagement and interest in receiving in-person daily intelligence briefings. On September 10, 2012, the GAI released a similar report showing that Obama had attended less than half (43.8%) of his daily intelligence briefings up to that point.

When Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen mentioned the GAI’s findings in his column, then-White House Press Secretary Jay Carney dubbed the findings “hilarious.” The very next day, U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three American staff members were murdered in Benghazi.

Great post, and I agree. Well, at least until I was informed that my thinking was incorrect....

wincheser virginia, the closest 'city' to me, is suffering from a huge heroin problem currently. three people just from my graduating class have died this year from overdoses. seems to be a big issues due to all the folks dying that are older than myself, mid 50's or so, who have come to heroin via legally prescribed pain medications. i have read that the cost of heroin is much cheaper than other street drugs, including weed because so much weed is now professionally grown and of a higher quality. anyway, winchester is along a heroin running passage that comes down from ohio headed down to richmond - with a pit stop in baltimore.

you would enjoy that too much.

It's amazing what passes for "thinking" these days.

Shows you how out of touch I am. Didn't know smack is less expensive than weed. Sounds like you have the same issue we have here. Highway 70 runs from DC through STL and from what I've heard almost all the way to Cali. Most of the drugs here come right through that. I drove from DC to STL back in 2002. I knew I was out of my element when I hit the outskirts of VA and my radio stations stop working.

i felt the same the first time i drove from va to montreal. once the radio stations and road signs went to french (while i was still in ny!) i felt very uh, 'murican lost.

You think that's bad? I've been to several different countries, and driven in almost half of them. Never used a map or GPS. Always relied on my sense of direction or just reading foreign road signs. I get back here, to my hometown, the place I grew up, and now I have to use GPS every time I go somewhere other than my mom's house

You dove around a foreign country by sense of direction, I am impressed.

If you can drive in the Philippines you can drive anywhere in the world. It's kamikaze chaos.

I know, it's one of the countries I didn't drive in. They wouldn't allow us to, it's in the liberty instruction. Or ride those buses with the open bays. Of course our PI sailors did both since you couldn't tell who they were when they were out of uniform.

Countries I drove in: Germany, Sicily, Belgium, Japan, Korea, and Malaysia. The only place I can think of that comes close to the PI was Sicily. The SS 192 was called one of the most dangerous highways in the world. When we checked into our command our sponsor said flat out in class, over half of you will either have your car broken into and a car accident within your first 6 months here. I had both happen within six months..

French rock n roll is something everything should experience at least once.

it was like quebecer top 40. a casey kasem sort of thing, it was all i could pick up. but i preferred it to the focus on the family reruns i was listening to while going through the adirondacks.

Wifey and I go up to the Connecticut Lakes in Pittsburg, NH right on the Quebec border, for long weekends and vacations. There are 3 radio stations, one is French rock, one is French talk and the other is American soft rock that comes in all static. After 2 hours of listening to French rock, I'm ready to go on a killing spree.
