Why is Youtube still on the air?!!!
The tagline is ABOUT obama.
It’s open season on any an all targets American anymore. Its not like we’re going to do anything about it. Hell the WH probably knew and approved the action.
I can kind of sympathize, then.
I heratedly agree with you that when a suicide bomb is found it should not be confiscated.
It should be strapped to the user , taken to a safe place and detonated. No Sarcasm.
Exactly, just what I was going to say. This woman was/is an unmitigated absolute disaster from hell as S of S and once again the communist propaganda machine posing as our MSM gives her a pass. Can you imagine Condi Rice saying “What difference does it make?” There would be coverage 24/7, calls for her to resign, NBC would be holding public forums with people crying, saying how upset they are blah blah non stop.
That pretty much explains why Al-Qaeda controls 2 new countries in the middle east with a 3rd on the way. They never had it so good under our first foreign born POTUS and this b*tch.
This is the difference that it makes. The inept response at the highest levels of our government, the groveling before the Muslim world, the rush to bury the truth for political cover... all of that merely emboldens the terrorists to strike again and again.
That is the difference.
No, John Kerry (who served in Vietnam) got the cable.
It must have been the Legos:

I wish I could refute what you write.
But I cannot; the evidence is too strong. Sad days we live in.

Turkish Interior Minister Muammer Güler told reporters that the attacker was Ecevit Sanli, a member of an outlawed leftist group that news media reported as being the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front (DHKP/C). The suspect in the attack spent eight months in prison for attending illegal demonstrations, Turkish news media said.
