1. They were. Well at least one of them was. If you saw KO last night, as in Tuesday night.

I think it was KO. You'll know that the "top adviser" probably the one that said "Bite Me" in relation to VP Biden, has resigned. And resigned yesterday. I'd expect the others have resigned as well.

2. Does a new Gen. bring his own guys to work with him?

I was thinking about this today. It's been reported that the guys closest to McCrystal were assigned to him via special request. They all had worked with him for a long time. I wonder if Patraich will request his owm closest personnel? I have no idea how this works, buI would think any General/Leader would be muh more effective working with his own familiar people.

10. Most will probably resign. Talking out of school makes reassignment

difficult.

4. I hope the asshole who said this....

"Who's he going to dinner with?" I ask one of his aides.

"Some French minister," the aide tells me. "It's fucking gay."

gets his ass handed to him. What is that supposed to even mean?
