And let’s not forget that it’s Hillary’s State Department, too. She’s just as cozy with our enemies as he is.

MEMO TO PRESIDENT OBAMA: Time to resign before you have to face impeachment charges AND before angry voters defeat you in the election.
Go live in Hawaii while we will still give you free airplane rides.

My wife and I are sitting on pins and needles tonight... Our son is a Inf Platoon Leader in the area (can't say where).
His unit is assigned to a rapid reaction force whose mission is to air assault into a embassy,secure it and effect the evacuation of the non combatants ,by any means necessary. It's not just the Marines anymore.....
Keep him in your prayers
