1. A bank/VC wouldn't loan you $500.00 based on a gibberish plan like that.

[rabs]

2. Ah ha, think I found a fatal flaw in the good general's plan

The flaw is that the appropriate mix of effort and use of force WILL NOT impact illegitimate actions or individual competence, judgment or ability to execute under appropriate strategic emphasis in nudging the neutral populace over to support the HN government.

Or something like that. :evilgrin:

3. Jesus, that's not a joke, is it

Looks like something some smart-assed 24yo junior MBA would draw in Visio right before hopping into the Porsche for a weekend in the Hamptons with some Zima and Red Bull.

These are the adults running the show!?

[Agony]

4. SWEET! and simple! Print out 30,000 copies of slide number 22 and hand them out

to the new guys so they know what to do and who the enemy is.

I am _so_ relieved that PAConsultingGroup has our back! I'm thinking we should just relieve McChrystal of his command and replace him with these dudes!

5. couldn't find in slides: drug, heroin, poppy, poppies, opium, pipeline. A very realistic plan...
