Bill, ever watch Rumpole of the Bailey? The Bristish barrister who primarily practiced criminal defense?

His watchwords were "Don't plead guilty."

He's right.

Hill and Obambi need to rethink their *strategy* in this regard.

No thinking person could actually believe that they can succeed unless they deal from a position of strength. It's a statist myth to think that our enemies would respond to mea culpas and apologies......

I think we should revert to the yellow flag. Then they would have to wonder if we were just yellow or would actually bite.

I can't think of a better way to egg on our enemies into believing we are weak and can be had.

We are weak. We can be had (our government that is. The American people are strong, but the image being projected overseas from inside the beltway is we're a bunch of pussies).
