I was not angry since I came to France
Until this instant. Take a trumpet, herald;
Ride thou unto the horsemen on yon hill:
If they will fight with us, bid them come down,
Or void the field; they do offend our sight:
If they'll do neither, we will come to them,
And make them skirr away, as swift as stones
Enforced from the old Assyrian slings:
Besides, we'll cut the throats of those we have,
And not a man of them that we shall take
Shall taste our mercy. Go and tell them so.
Shakespear put the right words into the mouth of Henry V after the French massacre of the boys guarding the baggage in Agincourt.
And not a man of them that we shall take
Shall taste our mercy. Go and tell them so.
Bush is making me want to vomit lately. A lot of talk, no forward moving action. The minute our tanks stopped rolling forward was when this whole thing went sour.
