    Garamet make be a twat on her trolling sprees, but Archangel's approach with her made him look as stupid as she did. :shrug:

    YMMV.

    Going back to the original article, I'm less than impressed with these critics for one reason: They waited until they were retired with their secure pensions to open their mouths. If these critics thought the country needed to know all about the known difficulties, why didn't they resign and then go public?

    It doesn't impress me much that these guys knew there were problems but didn't speak up because they thought their pension was that important.

    Exactly. Now that nothing is on the line, they turn Monday-morning quarterback/backseat drivers.

    Algeria is nowhere near Arabia.

    Hell, it is on a different freaking continent.
