Mr. Obama in regards to your decision on Afghanistan |
|
I beg you to sit with your daughters and watch the Princess Bride. Vizzini summed it up perfectly "You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha..." Enjoy the movie of course. Then kiss and hug your daughters and make your decision. Please.
Peace, Max

But his words should be heeded, at least when it comes to the land war in Asia.

5. Were they supporting a bloated defense budget? |

And dealing with all the problems our nation is facing? Afghanistan, where nations go to die.
