London vs. Olympic Shooting →
weaponsystems:
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a mayor in possession of a problem must be in want of a policy.

weaponsystems:
Operation Fast and Furious was so badly conceived, so incompetently executed and so disastrous in its result that nobody in the federal government wants to take responsibility. So, in the way of all scandals, the trouble is in the continuing coverup.
