Robert Gates brings a kindler, gentler get the h3ll out strategy. Sorry to be the one to break the news. This is why the neocons are all in a snit and torching everyone in sight. Worry not, we will maintain enough presence to delight the media with a monthly body count......
"Sorry to be the one to break the news."
