Of course, the on-site inspectors actually got it right, but their reports did not conform with what certain world leaders wanted to hear.

This was has been a massive balls-up and one that our kids will be paying for very dearly. "Incurious George" wanted to be a wartime leader and simply ignored anything he did not want to hear - like the wise words of General Poewll. Obvious that some folks spent more time absent from their military obligations than they ever did learning the lessons of Vietnam. I had a bad opinion of stupid George before the 2000 election and he has, sadly, moe than lived up to my expectations. Can't wait to see him leave office. It will go down in history as one of the worst presidencies in our history. Sad, really, what happened to the once-great party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt!
