Now why is the administration tweaking the Ronery One’s tail? Are they looking for a reaction to capture the news cycle?

3 years ? These state department douches can't predict Saddam would invade Kuwait if we say it is none of our business if he does . They can't keep the clowns like Armitage from outing agents and letting others be prosecuted . State Department . But they know how long a the Lord above is going to grant some thug on the other side of the world . I would not count on State to predict the coming of winter within three years . They are not working to help us, US .
