I’m suspicious of anything hussein does, and wonder if he just blasts islamists he doesn’t like. Certainly islamists kill other islamists even more regularly than they kill others. Unless it can be de demonstrated otherwise, soetoro is no exception.

Now why would they be “sorrowful” ? Don’t they believe the dumdass is on his way to be with his herd of virgins? Shouldn’t they be carwashing the flying carpets and spiffying up for a grand old going away party? And wouldn’t the same party be used to happily welcome up the new target-—er guy? Do they give him the keys to a new Toyota with a bullseye on top? Here ya go muckmood!

If this one is really true, watch closely for yet another Benghazi or USS Cole type attack as payback...aided and abetted by US.

We’re headed to China Vietnam and Thailand on a cruise next fall,, I just hope we’re there when protests aren’t.. And cars blowing up and stuff.

We got lucky in Greece, even in Rome, I hope our journey clicks in Asia.. Took over 5,000 pics and lots of vidayos last one, this one could be even hugher.

I kind of empathize at the early departure, I achieved a lot more as a young fellar too.. It was his chosen line of work tho :-) .

Karma sucks.

It's about time we started getting the #1 guys.

Most of the time it's a jihadi who is either #2 or going to become #2, if you know what I mean.
