A quick approach to war because you are in some "domestic political trouble" at home? This fool needs a tour on the front lines.

Oh isn't this guy cleaver? Why doesn't he run for president? Better yet, why doesn't he enlist in the armed services and direct the defense department? NOT!!!!! Thanks for the article. It's a good one.
