We have such great allies, there.

It’s so great we’re improving Afghanistan.

I’ll bet they LOVE the girl$ $chool$ we’ve opened there.

I’m sure these changes will be lasting.

Meanwhile the MSM is sleeping on the job. Nothing yet Fox or CNN.

Not only will he have no clue as to any credible threat...he will not even remember where he was or what he was doing tonight.

I have Verizon and I am P**SED!

They aren’t finished hearing from me. I may join a class action lawsuit against them!

[kjam22]

If only the AP had known this was going to happen a couple of weeks ago... then maybe Obama’s NSA would have known about it.... in time to stop it.

[Irenic]

“fighting was ongoing and that they were posting troops on rooftops. “

God be with them.

If FR has breaking news b4 the Lamestream presstitutes WHY EVEN WATCH TV news...?

I’ll stick to Brits and gift-shop clerks —they actually DO THEIR JOBS.

[GreenHornet]

Just wait until Barack Obama reads about this in the newspaper!

[rdl6989]

Is there a Verizon class action suit in the works? I’d join it in a heartbeat.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I have T-Mobile and was thinking about switching back to Verizon..I wont be doing that now(even though reception wise, Verizon is better) Id love for Obama to hear a conversation Im having..Id say “Hey Obama, if you can hear me now..U SUCK!”

So guess the massive NSA spying on every innocent American citizens - is just about exactly that after all and NOT about stopping any terrorist attacks.

"And then this limey is all, 'you're getting bugged, chap', and I was THIS close to telling him I didn't mind, right...? Then he spouted off about some attack in a place called Cable, or Kabul, or something....He was almost as annoying as this one GIFT-SHOP CLERK guy I'll tell you about in our break-out session, later on..."
