when I heard him say this it reminded me of a boxing match. I love your post!
Its less safe now. Its less secure, less stable, and they fight. That is what they do; they fight. The generals came to me in Afghanistan. Sir, it will be a rough spring. Why? My first year. Why?
Well, sir, the Taliban is going to come out of the mountains and theyre going to start fighting. I said, But why do you say rough. Well, thats what they do. Theyve done this for 1,000 years. They come out in spring; they fight. Thats what they do. Theyre very good. Theyre good fighters. Thats what they do.
