So Rupert Murdoch’s top two executives related to the phone-hacking scandal resigned. Good, but why haven’t the so-called reporters, the ones who actually did the deeds and embraced it as part of their job responsibilities, followed suit?  Probably because they are too busy trying to get hired elsewhere, those who haven’t been arrested yet.

2. Drink the wine but leave a few drops at the bottom of the glass.

3. Wait.

4. Repeat Steps 1-3 every 20 minutes until you find a fruit fly at the bottom of the glass.

Generals will never tell you that they want fewer boots on the ground.  Generals will always ask for more resources, more soldiers, more time.

The fact that Obama let his generals go before the public and voice their reservations about Obama’s so-called “aggressive” timeline to pull out of Afghanistan says a lot about Obama’s confidence in his decision.  And the “misgivings” the generals are now expressing in the wake of Obama’s decision only serve to make the generals look less “general” and more insular, slaves to their own military interests.

Good for Obama, and good for us.  Bin Laden’s dead.  Let’s get the hell out of there.
