William Shakespeare, ‘Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor.” — Barbra Streisand

You'd think anybody in show business could spot right away a quote which did NOT come from someone who wrote exclusively in iambic pentameter.

[IronJack]

Shakesspeare didn't write exclusively in iambic pentameter. His sonnets -- by definition -- were, but many of his more notable plays were not.

"To be or not to be? That is the question."

"Friends, Romans, countrymen: lend me your ears."

"Double, double, toil and trouble ..."

"For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother"

"Neither a borrower nor a lender be ..."

Etc..

Not that BS's quote is anything but BS ... Neither Shakespeare nor Caesar ever said those words.

...come from someone who wrote exclusively in iambic pentameter.

Obama shouldn't fight a war in Syria because of saving face or reputation.

How'd I do?
