I'm instituting a 30-day review ...

Great to see government officials taking responsibility for their own screw-ups

As the U.S. juggles major international conflicts and the Ukraine and Israel-Hamas war raged, Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spent nearly the entire first week of 2024 in the hospital following complications from surgery.

Even at a news briefing the day of a U.S. retaliatory strike in Baghdad, the Pentagon made no mention that Austin was hospitalized

Not to inform the president, his national security advisors or Pentagon top brass that the Defense Secretary was out of commission for days, not only violated all protocols for cabinet officals, but was against the law.

In response, today, Sec. Austin informed congress that he instituted a 30-day review to determine how to improve the procedures for transfering power and notifying the president and senior defense officials of any break in the chain of command.

Great idea, government! In response to Sec. Austin’s breaking the law, he instituted a 30-day review to recommend procedures not to break the law.

True, I failed to pay my taxes; therefore I’ll be instituting a 30-day review to recommend procedures to my pay taxes.

As a result of my getting drunk at your wedding, heckling the ceremony and knocking over the wedding cake, I have commissioned a 30-day review to recommend procedures not to get drunk at weddings, heckle the ceremony and knock over the wedding cake.

Having been informed I was going 70 miles per hour in a 30 mph speed zone, I will be undertaking a 30-day review to recommend procedures not to go 70 miles per hour in 30 mph speed zones.
