Always a pleasure having conversations with the Iranian MOI and it's PSYOP Division.

RE torture: As bad as all of us view waterboarding, and making people listen to shitty Brittany Spears music or watching Adam Sandler movies is, we're f-ing pikers compared to what ya'll do to YOUR OWN PEOPLE. Can honestly say I've never had the desire to cornhole a Haji detainee to make them discuss things I want to know...much less a young citizen of my country protesting on the streets.

"Course, the way the tea-leaves are settling on the rim, looks like the balloon will go up again in the near future, and we'll get to execute the POTUS orders to leave Iraq and Afghanistan simultaneously. Easiest COA for 10 BCTs to accomplish that is meet in the middle...Easier transit out of Bandar Abbas. Only this time, MILO Doctrine (or a branch plan version) in effect, versus Curious George.

How do you say "flank" and "double envelopment" in farsi, BTW?

On a side note , I just realized that the Little Rascals were maybe the first TV/ movie show to portray blacks and whites playing together as equals ( equally poor- long and bizarre history of the cheek and jowl nature of the relationship of the two groups in the South. Boy , there's a damn-shame of an opportunity missed- a poor white trash/ uppity nigger block. Oh , what could have been...).
