Benjamin the Ass

"Benjamin was the oldest animal on the farm, and the worst tempered. He seldom talked, and when he did, it was usually to make some cynical remark—for instance, he would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would sooner have had no tail and no flies." - Animal Farm

Possible Troop Request on the Horizon

McChrystal, to tackle Afghanistan's troubles
Wants increasing troop numbers (possibly double?).
This never-tamed place,
Like shaving one's face:
A war on beards: evermore razing down stubble.
