There's perhaps nothing funnier than a propagandist college dropout trying to explain military strategy to a Rhodes Scholar retired four-star Army General. Well, maybe a quick Google search that proves the propagandist wrong is a little funnier. Although General Clarke misspoke and said "seize, clear and hold" -- he meant to say "clear, hold and build" -- he's dead on that this is not a new strategy. (h/t nitpicker)

Hannity: Alright. You said there was no new strategy. Let me tell you what the new strategy is ‘cause clearly uh I guess you’re missing what the President’s saying here.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK:: I don’t think that’s a new strategy. [...] I’ve heard him for a year talking about "seize, clear and hold." Hannity: No. That’s what it is now.

That's what the strategy is now? Hmm...
