This Makes Me Want to Puke

We have a bunch of officials with varying roles in winning the war on terror and they don't know the basics of our opponents.

Jesus.

how much better would you have done?

not sure the point of the question...

a) I would have done A LOT better
b) Does it matter?

See, the issue is, I'm a cinema student, which makes me sort of an intellectual joke - and a poseur living in a fantasy world of movies - and i still know more than top counterterror officials about muslim basics - just by reading the damn newspaper and a few books. that is sorry.

the bigger issue is - fine, you don't know about muslim stuff. but it's your frigging job to do so, so you really ought to.

it would be like me not knowing what a wide shot, or a close up is. or a transition, or HD versus Film. i honestly think it comes down to those basics.
