BOO!

Yes, Mr. Pentagon Idiot, we understand – how many times will you tell that to us. And, if they hit us –  we hit them back.  Surely you and they know that?  So what is the purpose of this information – normally, if I would have requested this info thru the FOIA – you would have redacted all of this information.  So what is the deal Mr. Stupid?

The Boy who called Wolf:

The origin of this phrase is believed to be from Aesop, a Greek fabulist who is said to have lived from 620 to 560 BCE. He wrote a number of different fables known collectively as Aesop’s Fables.

One of the stories credited to his name tells of a young boy who was given the responsibility of watching over some sheep for the night. The boy eventually grew bored with his assignment and thought it would be rather humorous if he pretended to be in danger, so he started shouting “wolf, wolf!” His plan worked, as the people nearby heard his cries for help and came rushing to lend their support, only to learn that it was all a silly ruse.

After this repeated a few more times, the people wisened up and no longer responded to the boy’s deceitful cries. Later on, a real wolf showed up, and now the boy seriously started to cry for help, but it was too late, because nobody would listen to him any longer.

Indeed, when someone constantly lies, they lose the trust of others. Thus, the phrase ‘crying wolf’ is thought to have originated from this story; it references the lying boy.

Lying; someone who calls for help when they don’t actually need it.

Typically used to describe a person who frequently lies or complains about things when there are no real problems present.

Do wish someone would change his “cow patty hair do.”

The Pentagon Says That North Korea Is Capable of a Nuclear Strike on the U.S.

Officials in Washington are of the opinion that North Korea’s nuclear arsenal holds missiles that could reach the mainland U.S.A. — but stress that it is a threat that the Pentagon is adequately prepared to face, according to one senior military official quoted by Reuters.

“I’m pretty confident that we’re going to knock down the numbers that are going to be shot,” Admiral Bill Gortney, who heads the U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command, said of a potential strike. He spoke at an event hosted by the international affairs think tank Atlantic Council on the matter of “protecting the homeland.”

North Korea has long taunted the West with allusions to the country’s nuclear means. Every few years, it announces that it has conducted successful nuclear tests, boasts that are interspersed with erratic pledges to end them in return for economic aid or diplomatic concessions. Authorities in Pyongyang say that recent rocket launches are part of a legitimate space program.

Gortney said that the Pentagon is seeking to update its missile defense system despite the impending threat of congressional budget cuts.

“We’re ready for[Kim], and we’re ready 24 hours a day if he should be dumb enough to shoot something at us,” Gortney said. (God, who is this guy?)

What an idiot and to think they are trying to protect us!
