RIP for the security guard.
I’m not buying it.
Hate to say it, but the only source I trust nowadays is this one.
I STILL don’t know what happened in Newtown. Was it pistols? Bushmasters?
After Benghazi, I don’t trust professional presstitutes anymore.
Creepy—turned on news channel moments ago to find Hillary! with a big grin, bidding fond farewells to her U.S. State Department staff.
Sure he was. If you look at the local Turkish press (Hurriet Daily News) there’s an article just above the embassy bombing about bin Laden’s son-in-law being arrested in a hotel in the Çankaya district of Ankara (not far from our embassy).
Of course!
I heard a rumor he served in Vietnam, didn’t he get some kind of medal?

US embassy bombing in Turkey called 'act of terror' by Obama administration
I agree. It is an act of terror by the Obama administration.
This evil woman has much blood on those hands.
Some day she will reap what she has sown.
Notice how quickly the White House deemed this a “terrorist attack”.. Is that because at least one Muslim was killed (the bomber)??? Or is it because 0bama doesn’t have a re-election to worry about anymore??
what fake anti-muslim movie came out today?!?
hillary immediately replied “WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? I EFFING QUIT TODAY!”
Oh. So that’s what I meant. I was beginning to worry about me./not sarc
