Extract
You say I’ll be in Kabul. I hope to gosh I won’t be, not when the war starts. Orientals have such elaborate ways of bumping a guy off. Different ways in different countries. They treat their enemies rough, believe me. The Arabs crucify them. The Turks burn them. The Afghans use a Khyber knife.
