“Do you honestly think our goys would miss?”

No! Our “goys” would not miss! Neither would our Jewish soldiers!

Correct... but, said appointee could just as easily be Granny Botox as it could anyone else, certainly. (That being said, however: I think he'd most likely pick a fellow hardcore leftist loonie somewhat lower down in the pecking order... like, oh, say, Alan Grayson, for instance.)

Ah
I thought I remembered it had happened
but notice
This year the rockets hit in Bagdad
Biden is IN iraq but not in bagdad so he won’t even be able to claim he dodged live fire.
I bet he hates that

Isn’t breaking news supposed to cover incidents that may be of importance?

I do not like Biden, Obama or Pelosi, but I wish them no harm. An attack on them is an attack on us.

Pelosi wouldn’t be VP the president names one and congress OK’s the nominee...Thats how Ford became president. the vice president Aggnue /sp was forced to quit and Ford took over the VP office, then Nixon resigned and Ford became the only president not voted on by the public...
