Somebody said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again but expecting different results. This man's story is the definition of insanity: sending soldiers out to "patrol" who get blown up. And sending out some more. There's a famous story about Vietnam combat veteran Col. Harry Summers meeting his North Vietnamese combat counterpart after the war. He said to him "we defeated you in every battle. We vanquished you on the battlefield." The North Vietnamese colonel said "that's true and it's also irrelevant." I have some ideas I can run by you about a decent way to get out, but it doesn't matter because I wasn't elected to come up a solution nor asked by Mr. Rumsfeld to design one. In asking me to give one you seem to reluctantly agree that this war, and it's current path, doesn't make much sense. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how to get a fax number that sends and receives faxes using your current email address http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=64 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:168967 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
