Yep.
It's military intelligence, all right.
That's what they call it, anyway ...
... military intelligence.
Just like shooting down a TWA commercial jet,
filled with innocent people.
That was military intelligence too.
If we had to do Iwo Jima all over again,
I would suspect the Japanese would own
the entire continent by now, after reeling in
Pearl Harbor with monofilament, a fly rod,
and a ball of cheese.

p.s. What century are we in, anyway?
I forgot how to do memory management, again.
I am a Bill Gates wannabe. Hey, Bill,
can I Charge some Gates on my next windows
buy? Sorry your Tucson facility folded.
I told you so.
