I thought Nasser was a Secularist?
All he needs is the "N" and the "ER". He's already an ASS.
IMHO he wants to be another Saladin
I remember Nasser from when I was a kid....maybe 8...and remember thinking "those pople are crazy". Some things don't change.
Well, he sure wouldn't want to emulate Sadat, who got blown away for even thinking about peace treaties.
I'm like you. This gives me great hope that, following in Nasser's footsteps, Ahm-on-a-jihad will likewise get his ass kicked, twice, by Israel.
Proof that shi'ite happened..
Someone else with that ambition now lies in the shadow of a noose.
Saladin and his troops actually fought in wars. They didn't pay others to do their fighting for them as the Iranians do.
This really steams me, Doc. $700M annually of our taxpayer money and Khan struts around like royalty with armored guard protection and a hands-off order to everyone wanting access to him. Something is very wrong here...
Bingo!
