A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted Wednesday as part of a terrorist fundraising ring that allegedly sent more than $130,000 to an al-Qaida and Taliban supporter who has threatened U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan.

Wow, the thread yesterday that actually broke the news at LEAST started without the moronic knee jerks. The guy hasn’t even been in office in 16 years!
Wow, 60 whole posts before the first drive-bye Bush bashing post!
Why isn’t this bigger news?
I can’t see someone with his record doing it JUST for the money...he did something and was getting blackmailed for it, and then just sank deeper and deeper. The Soviets did it to our people all the time. Saddam did it with Scott Ritter and his perversions. There’s GOT to be something more than only the money.
Because he’s not a politician anymore? If he were a sitting congressman, it’d be Bush’s fault 24/7 all over again.
That’s because CNN endorses such individuals.
Sounds like good advice.
>>Has to be a RINO.
>He lists George H.W. Bush and Duncan Hunter as references #1 and #2 on his corporate website.
Wow. Just wow. I would really like to see Duncan come out and explain how it was possible that he missed the treasonous nature of this pig.
In these days of the current (GOP) President playing kissy butt with the muzzies, it is looking more and more like the people in power, Dim and GOP alike, are only looking out for their own moolah and are happy enough to let America be ravaged in the process.
What’s the answer???? I used to think he was a nutcase, but I’m thinking more and more that Michael Savage is the only one telling the truth about our goverment/media complex.
Sure would be sad if it takes a nutcase, to see what is really going on...
What would bother me, if he is proved guilty, is not that he is Republican or Democrat, but that he is American.
You are right...More to it than meets the eye.
“I’ll bet he wants to bite into a block of cheese!”
The size of a car battery...
Though I personally always thought Siljander was a bit of a nutcase for saying that Fred Upton was a tool of Satan, this latest move shows he has cracked beyond repair. Treason, anyone?
@@@@@
Why are conservatives, (or is it just a freeper phenomenon), willing to believe every word of condemnation from the DBM without proof when a Republican is implicated in a bad or illegal act. We claim to believe that we do not trust the DBM, but almost every post on this thread, for example, has the man convicted and condemned before any facts are apparent.
Ask yourself if the man’s name would even have been made public if he were an Dem?
The knee jerks
^^^^^
A very good name!
I am guessing there would be more than 75 posts on this thread had the PoS in question not been a Republican.
Let’s keep in mind that his term in office was 1981-87. I believe this was back in the Lebanon fiasco years, but it was long before 9/11. A lot of foolish people believed that we just needed to make an effort to get along with other people.
If he was a committed Christian, as people say, who wanted to talk with Muslims, keep in mind that “ecumenism” was still alive in those days. The idea was to reach out and try to get along with different religions.
I think that was foolishness, rather than malice. But look around you today, and you will find that the default position of most Democrats and the MSM is that we just need to talk to the Muslims and work out our difficulties. And that’s AFTER 9/11.
Barack Obama was over in Kenya this past year, a U.S. Senator playing footsie with the Muslim terrorists there. And he was on the phone to his cousin Odinga the Muslim as recently as the New Hampshire primary.
Back in the 80s, as the story admits, our US aid funds were funding these terrorists. And we’re still paying the Palestinians to make terror. It looks as if Siljander’s problem is that he was a Republican, and the FBI is currently going after all the Republicans it can find, to smear the party.
Was he guilty? Maybe guilty of being stupid. But there was more excuse for being stupid back then than there is now.
Wrong guy to charge with that. I love Bro. Bush! But you gotta admit, that was a real boner to write an anti-gun brief. I am not following this new AG that closely, but it looks like zero for one so far...
Barack Obama is not a Muslim.
Agree. Doesn’t matter what party he is. If he is playing with the enemy; he needs to held accountable.
Sorry; but he is.
