Hypnotizing Chickens

The following chart is from a PowerPoint presentation given to our top Commanders in Afghanistan.  It was produced by PA Consulting, a UK based international consulting group.   This is so over the top that at first I thought this was a parody, mocking the Obama administration.  But then I realized this is actually a serious document.  That concerned me, because it demonstrates an incredible level of stupidity with regard to actually winning a war.  But I felt better when I realized that this is really brilliant.  It is based on a prior study by the CIA on the use of overly complex PowerPoint presentations to hypnotize chickens.  I suspect that this is actually the Obama administrations’ more humane alternative to waterboarding.

 

Following is the article explaining this.

(Remember that this chart was developed by the same group that thinks it can manage the U.S. health care system.)
