What you expressed were not 'convictions.'

Sorry bud, they are convictions and they come from experience.

This will be viewed as a "I want to be re-elected" decision, rather than a "I'm behind my military" one. Morale will take a nose dive when the U.S. portions of those patrols are killed.

Sorry yourself, 'bud.'

These are not 'convictions.' These are dire predictions based on your own personal pessimism.

And all based on one headline from Drudge.

If you want morale to nosedive, keep it up..........bud.

Whatever makes you feel good Andrew.

You can call your pessimistic prophesies of doom 'convictions' all you want, since it obviously justifies them in your own mind.

Nice talking to you, Eeyore.........
