... The countryhas and I told you I sent and have had one on the ground for quite sometime. We are not them. Furthermore we support the country without bias. Meaning that it has to lift them all or not. This is not rag-tag USA and I'll come myself. The beauty of it all is that even my travel expenses have dropped considerably. It has already started. Wait for the elections to run the course so that things can be done. The country isn't the one being let down. That would be someone else. |
