Negotiating With The Taliban

So the story breaks that the Taliban honcho who we've been negotiating with and throwing money at is actually an imposter, and Saint General David Petreaus says, "Ha, ha, we already knew that."

He reminds me of my cat when she makes a leap for the railing and misses, then tries to look all sophisticated and poised and convince onlookers, "Yeah, I did that on purpose."

Except that Molly is a whole lot cuter when she does stuff like that.

Update: There is, of course, the possibility that she actually is all poised and sophisticated simply because she promptly forgot what she was attempting to do.
