    Ummm...Phuck you? I heard it on Fox News sometime between noon and 2 pm yesterday. I don't keep a log.

    It's the entire issue. He's throwing Israel under the bus. No other president has attempted to do that.



    That's not what Israel says. Iran is a serious threat and the 1967 lines, especially the Golan Heights would leave them extremely vulnerable to that freak Achmawhatever.,


    Slurp, slurp, swallow the Obama love juice.

    one of my favorite Presidents, George H.W. Bush, forgave $7 billion in debt to Egypt. That's a lot more than $1 billion

    from a 1990 article:

    It's still foreign welfare and should be stopped.

    in 1990, our national debt was huge news (trust me, i remember). it was the worse it had ever been since the 50's

    Listen very carefully: Bush hasn't been President for nearly 2 and a half years. What he did is not relevant to this discussion.

    i'm talking about H.W. Bush, not W.

    and yes, if H.W. Bush thought it was a good idea to give money to Arab nations such as Egypt, esp at a time when our national debt was in bad shape, that is relevant to this discussion.

    H.W. Bush was Director of the CIA before he was VP for Reagan for 8 years. on top of that, he's an American hero. he volunteered for the Navy during WW2, and was the youngest pilot to earn his wings (remember, this guys dad was a US Senator, he could have gotten out of service). he flew combat missions in the Pacific and was shot down during one of those combat missions. i went to the Parade Grounds when he came to LSU for our unveiling of our WW2 Memorial, and he talked about it and said an LSU guy was on the submarine that picked him up, and an LSU guy was one of the pilots circling overhead protectively

    i trust him when it comes to national security
