This President can't write himself a blank check when it comes to foreign policy. Especially this President.
'Especially this President?'
BBryce
Yes.

I throw a rubber ball against the window; that means you come to me. As my frustration level grows, so does the velocity of the ball against the window.

Yeah.
Thanks.
Know what Jack will be wearing? A saber.

No, he'll be wearing his dress blues, Warfare pin, Submarine Officer pin, two Commendation Medals, Meritorious Unit, Purple Heart, Bronze cross...and a saber.
...I'll be wearing a tuxedo from Gary's.
