Suntu,
Yes right!!!!, now you are agreeing with Musa Jeng because he is bashing
Rambo. You are just one political buffoon. Tell Lawyer Darbo that he will do
better in a coalition. All his bigwigs will leave him if he continues to
ignore reality. Did you realize the frustration among his supporters in the
West?
