I am all for mass executions of Moslem terrorists - especially by other Moslems.

The JV team is getting frisky, knowing their guy is in the WhiteHouse and will DO NOTHING (except covertly supply arms thru Libya).

The Mideast was better off when America wasn’t throwing its flag into it. The tyrants like Hussein and Kaddafi kept things in check against extremism and Iran. What a complete waste. America has plenty of energy resources here to not having to suck the shlong of the oil mafia.
