CIA Wears Awesome Maternity Clothes

Long War: In Syria, Assad's army has been trying to capture the Salaheddine district in the Battle for Aleppo by standing back and reducing the district to rubble with heavy weapons fire. They tried once to send in foot soldiers, but were beaten back. After that they went back to heavy weapons fire, which isn't working. They need to secure a staging ground near the district, strengthen all their supply lines, build up an invasion force inside the staging grounds, and then move in with infantry (foot soldiers)and painfully clear the district one square yard at a time. The bad guys are trying to do all of this as I write.

The rebels have not captured tanks from the bad guys until now. One or more tanks have suddenly been captured by the good guys and were used to attack Assad's staging grounds, disrupting his invasion force. Because the rebels have not used armor until now the bad guys were caught by surprise.

President Obama is admitting that he signed an order earlier in the year instructing the CIA to get involved in the Syrian Civil War. This makes three different statements describing how pregnant the CIA is in the SCW. Each statement admits to a greater degree of pregnancy than the one before like this: "The CIA is only a little bit pregnant. Okay, we are a bit more pregnant than previously thought. Okay, we are even more pregnant, but still you can barely notice with these awesome maternity clothes that we are wearing."

In Afghanistan, Afghan special forces launched a huge raid that resulted in the capture of key intelligence from the Taliban. This too is CIA activity. It may be one of the first signs of Langley's take over of the Afghan War. In this case the liberal cry, "bring our boys home!" is a good one. Of course the liberals don't follow up with a second cry, "Then unleash the clever bastards from Langley without any oversight so they can break all the rules and build up a war lord economy, etc.. etc..."
