And they call themselves our FRIENDS?

Since when do FRIENDS behave this way with such vindictiveness?

Hint: Friends don't retaliate like this.

This smacks more and more of Bush Sr. financing Saddam Insane which only served to bite us later. The same will happen here. They are NOT our friends.

Why don't you educate us on just how Bush Sr. financed Saddam. I won't hold my breath that you can back up that particular lie.

They are NOT our friends.

Peter King, Hillary Clinton, John Boehner, Barbara Boxer, Bill Bennett, Chucky Schumer and the rest of them are doing their best to make that so.

I would imagine that this is what the UAE is saying right now.

It is "vindictive" to respond when the Party of Treason dupes the gullible and clueless into pissing on your head and you remind them of the consequences? In what world?

Nations do not have friends. They have interests.

Yeah! Friends are supposed to allow you to screw them over, insult them and still be loyal to you. Oh wait....that's a doormat, not a friend. A friend is someone who has a right to mutual respect and trust. When that only goes one way, you're SUPPOSED to sever the relationship.

"Friends" don't instigate the need to retaliate.

Friends shouldn't have any opportunity to retaliate. We proved we were not their friends by screwing them for no reason. They responded as most of us would after being stabbed in the back by a so-called-friend. Now it is them that is not being a good friend? Bull.

Actually, Reagan financed Saddam Insane during the Iran-Iraq war after the Iranian Hostage Crisis that Carter couldn't figure out how to resolve.
