I think the speeches delivered by islamists before they sawed of the heads of non-believers was a little less sympathetic.
The difference between zer0bama and Cheney is measured in light years.
I could listen to Cheney all day long.
He cuts to the guts of the problem and I can understand every word~!!!!
