Doesn't anyone else find it just a little scary that after the Mt.

If there was ever a place where a clear decision seemed to be right in front of our leaders, this would be the place, but yet, no decision, or better yet, the decision to leave a dangerous situation be and add $100,000 to the situation. Scary, indeed!
