Fool you twice, shame on.... can't get fooled again (how is that poncho working out for you? The red face of embarrassment or something else?)!
I would mention the ‘‘fabricated evidence [from] an all-star team of the worst of the worst’’ but in doing so I would be writing a book (ugh!)
Taking it from the top:

How the war going?
