Langley's cadre for the DISH was interesting. The DO clearly chose security specialists over covert operators. African Division Chief William Pickney, a veteran of the 1980s ISI Afghan war, reached out to Garrett Jones, then completing his …

He had been born and raised in Rome until he was 12 years old, which tells you his parents were probably State Department or foreign officers as well. That language was useful in the dish because it was an Italian former colony and there we…

In late August, Task Force Ranger, a contingent of 400 special ops troops with 16 helicopters, a Delta Force element plus a company of Rangers deployed to the dish. Mortars shelled the airport as they landed. Welcome to the dish. Major Gene…

Cain said his job was to listen to the options and then report to the UN command. UN command is an oxymoron, I'm sorry. Garrett Jones sneered, why don't you go talk to some imam and ask him for help? Because that's the equivalent of asking …
