Getting Into Wars


For John, BLUF:  Truth is the first victim.  Nothing to see here; just move along.


How is the world ruled and led to war?  Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.

    Hi Cliff, so very true, ask a politician a question and they tell you how good it is to see you and how is your family and that was a great question.
    Next question!
    I don't hear too often
    You did not answer the question. when pressed you get the big picture answer that sounds like Charles Durning's Texas Side Step
