Zainab Alhusni was a simple seamstress in Syria, well-loved by all her neighbors and friends. Now, in a tragic turn of events, she has become a symbol of the cruelty gripping that conflict-wracked nation.

Alhusni was only 18 when she stepped away from her Homs residence last month to buy groceries. Her family never again saw her alive.

Gaddaffi, Assad, & Saddam were Russian orbit. Scum.

But are islamists any better?

All of this violence and killing is the direct result of Hillary the Beast and the Food Stamp President. They have been abject failures inside the US and just as bad outside. If we survive, history will report that these two were the harbingers of total disaster.
