21/11: What a shitty morning..
I wake up to a brief news burst regarding Hezzzbolah snatched up the grip of CIA assets and/or CIA officers. Granted it was on GMA, but did the next news have to be about crappy grammys? Okay.. CNN.. same thing. AFter sitting down and reading about what happened I threw up a bit in my mouth. For fucks sake it's been claimed that the Beirut station is out of commission!
I get the CIA's changed modes to a more Moussad hit-team, but really? Fucking pizza hut? The mission creep needs to be delegated. Have the bulk of the cia work back to intel gathering, but keep your scalpel squad.
This really makes the piss turn to ice when faced with how a state sponsored thug group can do serious harm to us because we've lost focus.
Hopefully we can recover the agents missing and get back on track!
