That's the problem with quagmires, you don't know your in one till your neck deep. Whether Russia knows it, they are up to about the arm pit.

Obama is a lousy general/CINC anyway.
He once stood up to a girl (I mean picked on) after most of the other kids at the private prep academy were picking on her.
He is also very brave when confronting every oine's weak sisters, Crying baby Boehner and the man who you should not take fishing.
The fish might land him with the 10 lb test. Explain that obne to the warden.
