Harman said it is in the interest of the United States to “build resilience” in these countries to prevent migration and even terrorism.

“It seems to me that the U.S. has a direct interest in building government capacity, which will build resilience in the countries you’re talking about,” Harman said. …

Do they truly believe this, or do they just figure they can get away with saying it due to the overwhelming number of morons in the world?

If you ever start wondering if there might be some truth to global warming “science”, all it takes is an article like this to confirm it’s all Marxist/globalist/elitist propaganda.

Starting with Vietnam, the military is never allowed to finish the job. We know that. And yet we keep doing it.

It hasn’t; it is a way to transfer money from working people to Third Worlders...

“Can anyone cite to me exactly where the climate has changed anywhere?????”

It is the hottest it has ever been in places that nobody lives like the Ocean, Antarctica and Austrailia. But most of the heat tends to be concentrated in the regions where there are the fewest thermometers.

You have it backwards, women and children do not have a problem with climate change. It only affects young military aged men.

Some of our jokes have germs of truth in them don’t they?

All humor has an element of truth, that is why we laugh. The best humor shows us another way of looking at our world.

Well since there is less industrialization, populations, etc in the Middle East, then all refugees should be relocated in Syria, Iraq, KSA, Yemen et al

Their statement proves they are named after the right guy: Woodrow Wilson was an ash hole too.

Woodrow Wilson. The second greatest American scoundrel of the 20th century.

The climate is always in flux due to multiple sources, but it is a gradual almost unperceptive change and happens over many many years. It is natural and has been going on without our help since the Great Bang. Now more immediate is the rise of Islam in the world with all it’s hate, horror and death. A man with a knife to your throat is what I would call a threat to my health.

And my nominee for the President that has wrought the most damage to this country to date with the 16th and 17th Amendments coming in his term with his endorsement. He is also the only President with a PHD. So be careful to not place to much faith in higher education for our leaders. I prefer common sense. William Buckley said that he would prefer to be governed by the first 50 names in the Boston phone directory than the faculty at Harvard.

What the hell does Jane Harman know about anything? She’s just a political hack, parroting the leftist vocabulary.
