Obama/Holder had their gun running and Biden didn’t want to be left out
Yep, over 7 billion left in the hands of Obama’s brethren, another 9 billion gifted to the Iranians... It adds up in a hurry... All part of a greater democratic program.
All brought to Americans by the death to America crowd in Washington.
Military preparedness at an all time low. Strategic reserve is empty. Inventory of munitions is drawn down. Nation being morally and financially bankrupted.
All part of a larger plan.
Duuuuuuuh!
…..via Afghanistan! Just sayin’
Let's see, we left billions of dollars worth of military weapons and materials in Afghanistan. Hummmm? I can't image any of that stuff ending up in Hamas hands. /s.
The House GOP are idiots for asking this question!!!
Austin’s testimony will be a blizzard of buzz words and bullshit.
