Most of the communists Democrats in the Senate will support this black king. What is worst is some Republicans will do the same. We have to do a real Senate clean house of the Republicans.
I think it’s past time to just nuke Iran, target all of their leaders and troops.

If you are going to engage in conversation about foreign policy with Obama supporters, always remember this: Most of them believe ‘Iran’ is what they did after they robbed the liquor store.
