That's a fair stance to take, but if it is half as bad a deal as reported, -- Maupin233 03/11/2020 08:58AM

How long do we wait for the environment for a deal to get better? -- hoolstoptheheels 03/11/2020 09:08AM

US govt has to make the decision they've been avoiding for 19 years. -- Maupin233 03/11/2020 09:23AM

We've taken a third option. -- DanTheFan 03/11/2020 11:40AM

I guess if you decide not to choose, then you still have made a choice. -- Maupin233 03/11/2020 12:01PM

I think you get the best deal you can. But this step is probably more than -- hoolstoptheheels 03/11/2020 09:14AM

There is no exit from this war that won't be fodder for criticism. -- hoolstoptheheels 03/11/2020 08:25AM
