Sorry, you are simply one of the blind dupes that George Washington warned us about. And what about those Marine barracks in Beirut, how about the USS Liberty bombing in 1967? Do you really know what happened in either of those instances? I highly suspect you do not.

Yes, I am quite aware of the fact USMC barracks sentries had useless weapons due to the ROE disallowing them to lock and load their magazines into their respective receivers, NOR did they have ANY anti-armor weapons like an AT-4 at the ready, therefore- they were unable to stop a bomb laden truck, (estimated weight of the explosives in the 2,000 lb. range) from racing into their building. The revetments or perimeter barriers were inadequate to stop a charging vehicle as well.

Seeing how I postulated that you might supplant Josh Earnest as a worthy replacement, I'll accept your retort that I am, as General or President George Washington referred to: (as) a blind dupe, although I doubt dupe was vernacular commonly used in the time period you reference, but I get the drift.

The 9 years, 11 months and 29 days, that I served in Uncle Sam's ragtime band, and more influentially- the 40 additional months I vacationed in Afghanistan and Iraq, wearing the private citizen hat of a US Army DOD contractor, has given me a few significant insights into the tactics of the Shiite AND Sunni murderers, and the ROE constraints put on our military serving downrange, which is gross negligence bordering on treason.

I was around 10 years old in 1967, so the USS Liberty bombing will require me to conduct a bit of research.

In closing, here's my take on Trump's rise.

Voters chose obama because of the color- black.

Voters are choosing Trump because of the colors- red, white and blue.

From another freeper- ))) Trump towers (((
