Finally: Dems Cry Havoc And Slip The Dogs Of War

Maybe they were just waiting for the right motivational tool. Now if we can only get them to focus on terrorism instead of humping Bashir Assad's leg. hat tip P.

Cry Havoc! And slip the dogs of war

Act Three, scene one, Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare. It is an anachronism, and anachronisms are very common in Shakespear, especially in this play. Havoc derives from Old French, and probably derives from a now lost Germanic word (perhaps Walter will show up with the best derivation). It means to plunder, and entered English through Anglo-Norman, crier havoc, meaning to cry (shout) plunder. To cry havoc is to release one's troops to plunder the enemy camp or town.

Dan,

How did you get BobinStamford, (bless Stamford's sore behind), to lend you his favorite motivational video?

As Republicans can't open their mouths in front of a Saudi without letting royal dong down their throats, I can see how Dan might confuse diplomacy with whoring one's self out.

Also, how about those five different Republican deligations to Syria? Is the GOP getting a bit sand-cock hungry, or is Dan just in for a solid douse of cognative dissonance?

Take a spelling lesson Islamist. Incidentally, Roggio's post today puts the lie to mkulla's claim that the Surge is about fighting Sunnis only and not all insurgents.
