#7  Time crawls in D.C. in the summertime
Clocks tick and chime at the Porte Sublime
The drip of denials
From slow-melting dials
Beats time for a slow-motion pantomime.

#4  The 'Timely' decision was years ago on the SOFA. The fascinating aspect is that you clowns didn't already have the PR packets assembled to excuse your asses out of the consequences the truly 'smart' people knew was going to happen.

#2  Timely decisions? Obean allowed this to happen, then it is suggested by his right-hand man that they didn't see it coming? Which is it?

#1  Timely

I don't think that word means what you think it means. Or are we in Susan Rice reverse logic mode?
