You Can Lead A Dick Ta Phone, But You Can't Make Him Think

I'd be livid too if someone disclosed I wrote something like this:

The questions I posed to combatant commanders this week were: Are we winning or losing the Global War on Terror? Is DoD changing fast enough to deal with the new 21st century security environment? Can a big institution change fast enough? Is the USG changing fast enough?

...

Does DoD need to think through new ways to organize, train, equip and focus to deal with the global war on terror? Are the changes we have and are making too modest and incremental?

My impression is that we have not yet made truly bold moves, although we have have [sic] made many sensible, logical moves in the right direction, but are they enough?

Try instead: "What further steps should we take against terrorists?" Don't get shit-faced and slur soliloquies into your Dictaphone just because you're in love with your own voice. And you're not getting paid by the word.
