I’ve been accustomed to watching Meghan Kelly for her ability for getting the right people in to explain “the news” to me.
I’d earlier this evening eaten a big meal and so took a nap only to wake just in time for Round Two of Meghan’s show – first “expert” off the chocks was General Keane.
I shoulda known after Meghan pronounced “a totally new group” (and duly checked the box this was not just “new” but also “unforeseen”) how this was gonna get spun.
Meghan? If you’re reading here (especially if for the first time) make note of this name – Ahmad Fadhil Nazzal al-Khalaylah.
What’s that? You’ve never heard of him?!!! Well maybe you’d recognize the fellow had you available the info he’d later changed his name to … Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Dead now but …
There’s a long shadow cast cast by the guy in and around Anbar. Doubtful you’re gonna get that though if you stick to asking guys like Keane to lead The Kelly File.
Kinda wisht now I hadn’t had to pee.

The Arab Spring bursts into full-bloom and what a sight to behold it is… What’s our President and his staff doing to stabilize matters from spinning wildly out of control? He’s blaming the the Iraqi government and saying, “not my problem”. And W is staying silent.
