Simple question: Are the IS commanders going to stop their "morons" taking selfies outside command centres as a result of this being publicized?
If yes, how does this help the war effort?
If no, please explain why not.


This is a c#ck-up.

Agreed, Fox3.


Slight thread-drift:
A bank robber approaches the teller's window.
He pushes a bag across and says "Fill it up - this is a f*ck-up".
The teller stammers "D-D-Don't you mean a stick-up?"
"Nah" says the robber, "It's a f*ck-up - I forgot my gun".

Or the dyslexic bank robber who runs into a bank shouting " Ok Motherstickers...this is a f*ck-up!"

I seem to remember a line by the late great Kenneth Williams during a bank raid;

'Hands down this is an upstick!'

Anyway, does this look like kind of guy that would undermine efforts to combat ISIL?




Does this look like a man who'd blab all his state secrets to his writer mistress?

Petraeus's patch of medal ribbons reminds me of Maj Bob Pomeroy of the Towers War Studies Team in the 60s - explaining this medal is for chasing girls, this one is for catching them

My first thought was they would take "selfies" in front of the whitehouse

I do hope that was tongue in cheek Ewan. I also hope the dope that took the selfie was in the command bunker else he will probably be having his head removed by now. Military intelligence.........
