THEY'RE the ones that have to work directly with the US military, who would feel quite betrayed if they got sucked into a regional war they didn't want...mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537045684820674531.post-8793454961934856202013-01-02T10:24:07.511-08:002013-01-02T10:24:07.511-08:00Didn't I read a story about the military holdi...Didn't I read a story about the military holding him back somewhere?Substance McGravitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118764163822188800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537045684820674531.post-43572334579745623732012-12-31T09:29:08.474-08:002012-12-31T09:29:08.474-08:00I don't know about that.
