Izimpendulo ze-3
Enye yeenzame zakho ezilungileyo kakhulu. Inkqubo eqaqambileyo. Zonke izithethi bezimnandi. Ngaba, kholwa okanye hayi, "awuqinisekanga" ukuba wenze ntoni e-Afghanistan. Ufunde iincwadi ezilishumi elinesibini kwaye uye kwiinkomfa ezininzi (khumbula ubuza u-Admr James Stavridis ePerry World House, ePhila.). Kwaye enye yezona ncwadi zinempembelelo yayiyiThe Mirror Test, nguMateyu Hoh. Hoh ezibalaseleyo iindibano zeCongress. UDanny Sjursen amaxesha amaninzi hleka-ngokukhwaza-qhwaba-izandla zakho zihlekisa. Inkqubo emangalisayo. Ekugqibeleni ndatshintsha ingqondo yam. Uya (ngandlela thile) ukulandela.

Ndicinga ukuba izimvo Kathy yindlela eya phambili. Enkosi ngokudibanisa le Tarak.
