The last time a crew was switched out, Extortion 17 went down. It’s been hours. I guess no news is good news?

“This is nothing to get alarmed over,” said an administration official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss a delicate diplomatic situation.

“This is a bureaucratic problem with the flight plan, and it’s going to be resolved shortly.

This is not a political statement.”

Not moral equivalency, more like amoral equivalency, or simple eye for eye.

Will those 100 Americans be home within 444 days or will they have to wait until the moment Sarah Palin takes office on 1/20/17?

Go Sarah go! Exterminate islam! Crush communism! Destroy the DemonRAT party! Woo hoo!

Note the class and dignity she brings to the Oval Office unlike hussein who wears short sleeve shirts and short pants behind that desk.

Just great

Ironically we have a common foe now

Man....you cannot write a storyline over the religion of peace and its ethnics if you took acid and slept with 72 virgins that would be any stranger than the reality

Iran needs us a bit strange as that sounds....

“Now they have declared themselves the leaders of all muslims of the world and call them simply IS, Islamic State.”

I guess it all depends upon what the definition of IS is.

Sorry.

Sarah Palin will never be President. Not because she couldn’t be, because she doesn’t want to be.

Pakistan is a symptom of a dangerous, suicidal cult. The most dangerous cult mankind has known. But instead of just drinking the kool-aid and dying peacefully, they kill innocents, believing that it will get them to heaven.

How do you destroy a cult? You take out their leaders.

In this case, we would need to destroy every book of ass wipes in the world. Also we would need to get rid of everyone that could remember this death cult, which is unfathomable to most, unthinkable, and very hard to even consider. It’s a shame, but at one point it will be islam, or nothing else. Then it will have to be done.

What is a US charter plane doing over Iranian airspace?
ESPECIALLY with a weak quisling in office?

I’d definitely find a way to be sick or injured before that flight took off.

The bigger problem around here is that people like you have sub-first grade reading comprehension. Victim of the public school system, are you?
