#3 Sounds like a strange dude. I wonder if he doesn't sleep for reasons other than to avoid sluggishness - could he have advanced this far if he admitted he had 'night visitors' and asked for help?

#4 I dunnow, some kind of "Night Visitors" would be quite welcome (Especially in skimpy negligees)

#5 If General McChrystal is confirmed by the Senate, as expected,

Question: Do military assignments such as these really require congressional approval? Sounds like another encroachment on the powers of the president as CIC by congress to me.

But then I've never been in the military so wouldn't know.

#8 âHeâs got all the Special Ops attributes, plus an intellect.â

That's an odd statement. The Special Ops guys I've met here seem pretty intelligent and well-read to me. Certainly, they know more about all sorts of things than I do...
