Because we Don’t Do Stupid Shit?
FOX:
Americans were being evacuated Thursday from a major Iraqi air base as Al Qaeda-aligned militants toppled cities in the country’s north and threatened to advance toward Baghdad.A senior U.S. official confirmed to Fox News that Americans were being evacuated from a base in Balad, which had been one of the largest training missions in Iraq.The three planeloads of Americans are mostly contractors and civilians. The State Department said Thursday that the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad is operating as usual.But the evacuation means that the vital training mission at Balad, about an hour northwest of Baghdad, has been suspended indefinitely — despite repeated administration statements that it would continue to support Iraq’s military.Regarding those assurances, one U.S. official clarified to Fox News: “At the same time, we are not going to do anything stupid.”
xlation … we don’t DO shit. We don’t do good shit, we don’t do bad shit, we might do some Peace corps shit if a 30 sec TV byte is around, but if we do NO shit, we don’t do stupid shit. And there is the Obama FP.
A PARTIAL VACUUM IS LEFT BEHIND
