Send in the clowns. Literally.

[silverleaf]

we are playing nuke war games with China, so they can see how our president and national security systems react?
charming
not

[kropcke]

“Mr Obama was keen on the idea and in on the surprise...”

Limbaugh theorem proven.

[NFHale]

“...Send in the clowns. ...”

Send in??? They’re ALREADY in.

Remove the Clowns should be our motto.

[Psalm 144]

Mutual support network for curtailing such liberties as remain IMO.

[bigbob]

Yep, golf wasn't one of the options...

[ryan71]

What a coincidence. We're talking about obama’s fear that a loose nuke might find it's way to Manhattan.

[married21]

Obama would rather have played golf, but will settle for war games.

[jazusamo]

The head clown was there.

[pgkdan]

Oh Lord...just take me now.

[demshateGod]

“unidentified global terror network”

The Tea Party.

[McGruff]

Obama: Whoops, did I do that?

[onyx]

BTTT

[TexasCajun]

Ahhhh, now we find out why Obama sent Mooch & the kids off to China:

Prime Minster of Denmark Helle Thorning-Schmidt arrives for the NSS summit dinner at the Palace Huis ten Bosch

Obama and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands sharing a light moment at Huis ten Bosch prior to a dinner hosted by King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima ok

I actually have some experience in Pol-Mil Wargaming from years ago both in Checkmate and the Center for Low Intensity Conflict. The first, absolutely first, rule is never directly involve the head of state. He or she can watch but should not become directly involved. When one does become involved it lets an audience see how you think and what you would do. This goes all the way back to Kennedy and his first Pol-Mil game that was done at Camp David.

This will give him something to do the next vacay he takes and there is a rain day or something.

Man, this guy is lost like a ball in tall grass. Frightening!

[Sacajaweau]

These war games have been played for years...in war rooms...not at lunch.

It wouldn't surprise me if she really gets p****** and walks out.

[dfwgator]

[ballplayer]

Obama loved it as he declared Martial Law and proclaimed himself President for life!

[ealgeone]

Do you want to play a game?
