I’m imagining a bomb on the deck of an aircraft carrier, in the bomb skid, awaiting loading.

Some sailor has some chalk, and writes “We’re Sorry” on it.

In my imagination, it is a nuke.

And in my imagination, we really are Not sorry.

The ragheads will invent something before Trump apologizes, and the magic eight ball says they will never invent something.

ESAD, and I hope the Ayatollah goes with you, preferably vaporized, but hopefully after a long drawn out painful and psychologically terrifying year or two.

american 'allies' Pakistan and Saudi Arabia do the same -- a pox on all of them

and even Bangladesh

Face it -- ALL muslims hate our guts, we should not support one over another. the US's only allies in the Middle East are Israel and Cyprus.
