The question is why the massive deviation? They weren't going to make it on time? That's a phone call or a meeting. My gut tells me that if we start digging into this guy's finances we are going to weep at what we find. The change in plans was bad for everybody except Isis, China, and Russia. Was Joe paid off to get out? To leave all of that hardware behind? To leave all those people behind?
Please let me be wrong.
