One day you'd think misfortune would get tired but then time is your misfortune.” In another passage, he writes, “And so as soon as I knew I couldn’t see it, I began to wonder what time it was.

ISIS Learned the Hard Way That the B-1 Bomber Is Far From Retired
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 39 minutes ago
