A line in the sand and the wind is blowing.
The line will soon be as if it never existed.
Agreed. So he should shut up. But he won’t. And he won’t put up either, which means he should have shut up.
Yes. Let Bonkey Moon make the empty threats for a change.
pathetic and embarrassing.
+-but he’s installed his muslimbrotherood terrorista pals and their kindred in several countries already... no doubt he is doing all he can... off the radar... to provide Syria with the same “treat”...
But this time he’ll say it in a really stern voice. Stop. Like that.
Why anybody would believe anything this man-child says is beyond my comprehension.

He and his Buddy, Juan McCain want to get in on this so bad they can taste it.
If the Rebels win the Christians there are dead ducks. That’s why they want in.
