Same report as the Guardian, dude.

Ooh they found someone to say bad things! (Good things are never reported.) Was it a recently retired General? No. An ex-officer- i.e., not high-ranking, not current, and not likely to have a great deal of special information. Working at a D.C. think tank. I'm so unimpressed!

And his report is not the headline, either. "If things don't change it's gonna get bad" is a more accurate headline. Problem is, that makes it too clear, it's not newsworthy. "If we don't stop for fuel we will run out." Yeah, so we'll stop for fuel. Duh!
