“Criminals.”

A very good description of them all things considered.

Generally, one is not “killed” from the air. One is, instead, “disassembled.”

Maliki has not accepted Mookie's stupid surrender terms yet.

Keep pounding them, guys. They've caused us a lot of trouble this past week...all of us. Make 'em pay.

The Greatest Happiness is to scatter your enemy and drive him before you. To see his cities reduced to ashes. To see those who love him shrouded and in tears.

I have said before....Arabs enjoy the negotiating more than the closed deal.

That is especially true if negotiating from strength

One of the many things I enjoy about this part of the world.

P.S. I used to have a cat named Dulcinea. ;-)

Yes, he's seen Mook "surrender' before only to make trouble again and again.

Well, sure, isn’t that the way it always works - first the engagement, then the wedding?
