Few of us are privy to the Situation Room.

It's Prezident 0bama's job to know what's going on. It's why he has advisors.

The rest of us, I can only speak for myself but I don't employ any ME advisors.

Pundits and posters have always predicted that there would be a huge terrorist party once the US left.
