The nine principles of war.

I did not hear O describe or explain any of these last night. Nor have Gates and Hillary in their most recent pronouncements.

I don't see how anyone could listen to the three and not determine that we are being led to one hell after another by dumb-ass ignorants. There will be a price to pay.
The devils of war always exact a heavy price for failures based on stupidity and ignorance.

It seems to me the trio has an agenda of their own and it is not in our best interests. Nevertheless, they are pursuing it at all costs.
