Can we send obama and hillary to Libya? They’re the ones responsible for Libya now being a failed state being overrun by terrorists.

Yes, Hillary needs to go to Libya for its dry and hot climate for her health. Why? Listen to the recordings of her recurring hacking cough during her speech at the Wellesly graduation. Wasn’t that the reason that Doc Holliday was told to go to Arizona for his cough?

Sisi taking out some losers was probably not an act decided in isolation. Tread carefully, tho.

Sisi is a genuinely good man and a real leader. He is a strong advocate for an Islamic reformation.

“This is a Muslim state ...Egypt...Defending Christian Egypt citizens from attack from foreign Muslim terrorist .. It needs to be Acknowledge and commended”

A result of the Trump Effect?

***A result of the Trump Effect?***

Maybe kinda sorta.

Egypt has been very pro Western Civ for decades. So much so that they voted down the Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi in favor of its current leader Sisi.

That being said, with Trump as President, Sisi knows he has an ally in President Trump to back his decision here.

Which makes him a candidate for the Sadat treatment. Hope he has good security.
