12. I think one of my favorite quotes

from the scifi show Babylon 5 fits this administration to a tee...especially with their current jones to pick a fight with everyone in the Middle East.

"Only an idiot fights a war on two fronts. Only the heir to the throne of the kingdom of idiots would fight a war on twelve fronts."
