Look on the bright side; The Muslim Brotherhood was just declared the victor in the Egyptian referendum.
Now all we need to do is figure out which way is faster by ship, around the entire continent of Africa or eastward toward the Pacific ocean.

John Brennan: “Hezbollah started out as purely a terrorist organization back in the early 80s,” it has “evolved significantly over time.”
Yeah, they've “evolved” from Kalashnikovs and RPG’s to Katyusha rockets and anti-ship missiles.

Look on the bright side; The Muslim Brotherhood was just declared the victor in the Egyptian referendum. What, me worry? The good people on the television news told me that the MB was a secular organization and there's nothing to fear!
Now all we need to do is figure out which way is faster by ship, around the entire continent of Africa or eastward toward the Pacific ocean.

Over 200 service personal killed there, and the way to fix the problem is to kiss their asses and keep paying their bills.

The Republicans in Congress can either pull their heads out and get to work stopping this son of a bitch, or he’s going to destroy the Western World by January 2013.

I say we reach out and touch their military stores in Southern Lebanon. If they object, we just liquidate them too.
