That’s it! He only had a limited time to live, so he strapped on a suicide belt and traveled the globe having adventures for a year, then blew up a US ambassador.

No one believes Hillary, I don’t know why she even bothers to lie. Oh course it’s just an excuse. This brings back memories, of “I don’t recall.”
