Don't mention Halliburton in a scheme if you ever make it down to Louisiana Binnie. Half the state is employed by them

most the idiots that put obama in office are the same people that voted for bush

bush was such a horrible president that a half-black from hawaii is the president

but obama's agenda was to restore relations with other nations

ISIS captured 88 Christians in Libya

Our foreign relations are worse than ever. Because Obama wants to make a nuclear deal with Iran, the other Middle Eastern leaders can't stand him. He recently set up a high-level meeting where Middle Eastern leaders were supposed to attend and only two showed up. Countries like Saudi Arabia are now saying that if Iran gets nukes, so will they. Relations with Russia haven't been this bad since the Cold War. Egypt doesn't like him because Obama supported (and still supports) the Muslim Brotherhood. That's just from the top of my head but I'm sure there's more.

Then we should pray for them.

faithful, what do you make of this guy??

Thoughts go out to the families of the victims in the attacks in Tunisia, France and Kuwait yesterday. Terrible stories coming from various media outlets...

I'm assuming it was co-ordinated, and deliberately on ramadan as some news reports are saying to try and foster more support for Isis. Coincidences never happen in 3's.

Its hard to say exactly how this should be dealt with, needless to say we can accept that we are currently in a bastardised World War, different from what we have accepted as the "norm" (for want of a better expression) from the first 2. Its shifted from a "terrorist hunt" into whats slowly becoming a war of completely opposing ways of life, we just need to make sure it doesn't polarise so much so that it ends up a real World War ie essentially 2 major players against each other

Putting up with this behaviour doesn't show how tolerant we are or how we would be lowering our standards in any way..ban it and interrogate the guy for as long as it takes

I haven't seen the transcript so I don't know if he's being honest about being misquoted. On the other hand, being misquoted by the media is a pretty common experience.

If he did say that the U.S. didn't go to Iraq to install democracy, that's true. The U.S. did try to create a democracy there, but many have said that Islam and democracy cannot coexist. Maybe they're right. Look what democracy brought to Egypt...the Muslim Brotherhood. It took a military coup to get rid of the MB. I think the Middle East needs more military strongmen like al-Sisi of Egypt, to be honest. Democracy is overrated.

If you're asking me about Donald Rumsfield in general, it's hard to say. When he was Sec. of Defense his policies reflected President Bush's, just as Hillary and Kerry reflect President Obama's as Sec. of State. However, according to Michael Morell, the one thing that the USA blew in Iraq was the de-baathification policy. Rumsfield was in charge of that policy and he was wrong about it.

thank you faithful, great post, you are informed.
