Thread Name: BS: Minister's Attention Span
Subject: RE: BS: Minister's Attention Span
"Fire and forget", implies some sort of precision-guided weapon. That doesn't really match most politicians ideas or verbal skills. I would prefer to term their usual patter after the other type of imprecise suppressive fire: "Spray and pray".
