Cliff May points out that the CIA doesn’t seem to know that the phrase “experienced suicide bomber” is an oxymoron. They also weren’t aware of the provenance of Iran’s new president.

This is hardly surprising. They also had no idea, back in 1979, that the Shah was in trouble. I recall a cartoon that showed two agents with CIA on their trenchcoats, in Tehran, amidst a street revolution. One is whispering to the other, “Psssttt…I hear that there’s a problem in Iran.” The one replies, “Quick, call President Truman.”

I wish we’d had someone else to vote for in November.
