I don't think it's clear to anyone. Didn't they recently discover the guy they've been negotiating with was a fraud?
It should be scandalous that KIAs under Obama are now more numerous than for W's entire 8 year presidency! If a Republican was in the White House the screaming faces would be howling "quagmire!" and "no blood for oil!" Why aren't Cindy Sheehan and her contingent pounding the pavement at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?
Have we really actually secured the Korengal Valley amonst other areas? No, he’s full of methane.
