3. I watched him on MJ..

this morning. I was a little pissed at the way Joe wanted him to go after President Obama's response to the attacks in France.

Pushing him on what he would have said differently. Calling the President petulant and peevish. Because he called out the Republicans on their idiocy.

He cut Martin off when he wanted to call out Trump for wanting to 'tag' Muslims. As if that shit's ok.

O'Malley was great. Every time I see him I like him more. He handled himself very well.

4. Yes, Joe was a real pain in the ass,

looking for drama to get his show some points.

Trying to find interview on Rachel's show last night, real questions, real responses, a real discussion.

5. Ok, so I watched a minute of this

then I stopped. Why? Because I read Clinton's speech at the CFR and she did point out that intelligence ability had to be increased.

I have problems with Hillary and her CFR speech, but O'Malley's statement that she leapfrogged over humint is just not true.

The humint issue is a red herring. The US knows what's going on. To preserve a sectarian balance of power and to further "strategic" goals in Syria we were pretty light early on Daesh. Now that is changing.
