    stuff happens

    Look folks, we're at war. War. And in a war, people get hurt. It's sad, but stuff happens. At times like this we've got to support our brave vice presidents who are out there risking their necks to protect our freedoms. And what you can be sure of is that our vice presidents are doing everything they can - they got smart buckshot, the best technology - everything they can to reduce civilian casualties. And you've gotta ask, what was this guy doing out there with the quails, in the bushes, in camouflage, in an area where vice presidents were known to be conducting operations. I don't have the facts and I don't want to speculate on this alleged lawyer's motivations and loyalties, but it doesn't look good, does it?
