#1 "Washington remained committed to disrupting, disarming and defeating al-Qaeda and training Afghans" -Actually the current catch strategic slogan in the Stan is "Disrupt the Taliban, Train ANA and Transfer to the ANA".

#4 I've often wondered if one good way to shut down government would be to require government officials to have a per-use license on Powerpoint slides. At ten cents a slide, the U.S. government would go broke faster than Greece...
