Boxer, Hitlery, and the rest of the Liberal traitor wackjobs won’t like that. Liberals never met a terrorist they didn’t feel sorry for or want to appease and surrender to. Defending America and her security isn’t in the Liberal game plan of power, ego, and greed.

Too bad the IAF couldn’t have made a slight detour and buzzed the Presidential Palace in Damascus. It would have been worth it just to see Assad piss his pants again.

This is unbelievable! After all those nice things that Dennis Kucinich said about Assad in his interview! He has to be shocked that the Israelis would resort to such tactics. /s
