Somebody needs to get Joe Biden um Scarborough out of there.

While ISIS tears up the middle east we got the real “JV” squatting in the white house or playing golf.

Strong play weak. Weak play strong. Okay Okay but now what did Sun Tzu say about a lazy coward.

There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general:

(1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;

(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;

(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;

(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;

(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.

The King wanted to test Sun Tsu’s theories, so he put 180 ladies of the household into two companies with his two favorite concubines in charge of the companies. When Sun Tsu gave his first command, the ladies started laughing. He explained that if the orders are not carried out because they are unclear, it is the general’s fault. He gave the order again and the ladies laughed. He explained that if the orders are not carried out but they are clear, it is the officers’ fault. The two concubines were executed and replaced. The ladies did the rest of the drill flawlessly.
