I'll just cut to brass tacks.  Now we're gonna fight... OH YES, very
expensive.  Takes money to fight with bullets.  Clinton fought with
words and bluffster.  So did Saddam.  Backing it up is way costly.

Bush backed it up.  Nice.

It's always easier with bullets and bombs.  ALWAYS.

I put a gun to anyone's forehead, they'll do what I want.

Or I kill them and get what I want anyway.

Iraq is dead.  Afghanistan is dead.  I don't think I can remember a
leader who decided to cap off the leaders of two countries.  Now
whaddaya do?

You put the opposing regime in power, bless them, tell them good luck
and attend to your own people.  Pray for the best.  After a firm warning
thaaat w'eeel beeee baaaack.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
