Si, Se Puede - Hablamos Inglés

We can do what? Run the snakes out of Ireland?

An expedient phrase, a throwback, from just another politician, seeking votes:

I wonder if someone took a survey of troops throughout history of whether they felt fully supplied at all times, if it would even break 20% ... I suggest that one reason Eisenhower was 'disciplined' about using the military, less so than being a "realist", is that he knew first-hand the sheer wastes of war that have little to do with actual killing and blowing-shit-up.

I hope those facts are there, otherwise Obama's ...er, lack-of-message-discipline is going to move from being a quick one liner to a major speed bump, in an election bound to be about National Security, if the GOP candidate has his way ...
