"We see an open window in what the American president has said ... Now there is a window of hope that was not present for at least the previous eight years," Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa told journalists after a meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo.

That’s kind of like opening the window in the bathroom after taking a massive dump.

Their hope must be soaring now that they have one of their own at 1600.

Especially since he appears to be giving a nod to the mullahs in Iran.

That should read “hope for the destruction of Israel.”

The Arab League knows they finally have a US president who is on their side.

When you’re in a room with a group that uses their left hand as TP, it’s advisable to open a window.

“It would seem so.”

I hope too be wrong on that but all indicators are pointing at that scenario.

I agree. I just hope we replace him with a person who has his head squarely glued on. I’m am sick to death of people on our side who haven’t a clue what something even close to Conservatism is.
