#1 I think this marks a significant milestone in the de-escalation of StronglyWordedMemos(tm)

during the period of detente with the USSR, we had the SALT I and SALT II treaties.

Ladies & Gentlemen, would anybody venture forth to second the motion that a round of "Strategic Strongly Worded Memo Limitation Talks" henceforthe to be known as SSWMLT I be herewith commenced with all due haste?

#3 "said the situation in Lebanon is too tense and the council cannot afford to issue anything at this time"
Heaven knows we don't need the Security Council to be doing anything as drastic as issuing a press release when a situation is tense.

I challenge anyone to detect so much as a molecule of testosterone in the U.N. not that John Bolton has departed.
